Efficient China Rail logistics.

GLOMB offers reliable road pre- and post-carriage services for rail transport on the China Rail route. We connect the key terminals in Poland, Germany and neighbouring countries with European dispatch and receiving points, ensuring a seamless transition between road and rail.

We have a particularly strong presence at the Polish hubs of Małaszewicze, Warsaw, Łódź and Poznań. There, we handle direct transport on behalf of freight forwarders, shippers and rail operators – flexibly as round trips or one-way journeys, and with a two-man crew if required, to reliably maintain international supply chains.

Through close coordination with the terminals, we ensure short dwell times and efficient handling on the New Silk Road.

Frequently asked questions about China Rail

What services does GLOMB offer for China-Rail transport?

We handle the pre- and post-carriage by truck for containers travelling on the China Rail route. This includes transport to and from China Rail terminals in Poland, Germany and neighbouring countries. This ensures the rail link is seamlessly integrated into your existing logistics chain.

Of particular note are our transport options to and from the Malaszewicze terminal in Poland, where transhipment takes place due to the different track gauges and where the first direct truck collection point within the European Union is located.

How is on-time delivery ensured for China-Rail pre- and post-carriage?

Our dispatch team plans the truck transports so that reservations and time slots at the terminals can be met. We monitor traffic conditions and journey times via telematics. If departure or arrival times on the rail network change, we adjust the truck schedule in consultation with you.

How flexible is the planning of China-Rail pre- and post-carriage?

Flexibility depends on terminal opening hours, train departures and your internal planning. We will do our best to match your requirements with the available slots. The earlier we are involved in the planning process, the easier it is to secure suitable time slots.
