Case study
China → Kazakhstan
Container and rail shipping of vehicles from Tianjin
In spring 2025, we received a vehicle batch from a free-trade zone in Tianjin, including a Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X6. We loaded the vehicles into a 40-foot container, trucked it to the rail station and dispatched it by rail to the Alashankou hub on the route to Kazakhstan. Delivery to the rail hub took 15 days.
