In today's rapidly evolving global industrial landscape, a "steel camel caravan" connecting China and Europe has opened up a new artery for the "Made in China" to go global with its high efficiency and flexibility.

Recently, Naisida Automation Technology Co., Ltd., a company in Suzhou Free Trade Zone, successfully transported a batch of high-end intelligent production line equipment to Poland through cross-border truck flights operated by China Europe Card Airlines (Jiangsu) Logistics Service Co., Ltd. This is a successful collaboration between two local enterprises, which once again confirms that the new cross-border road transportation model of China Europe Card Airlines is becoming an important innovative force for upgrading the service manufacturing industry and stabilizing the international supply chain.

Innovation Channel:

Cracking the logistics dilemma and connecting the Eurasian market

China Europe Truck Airlines, also known as China Europe Truck Flights, is a land transportation method that relies on cross-border heavy trucks and features "door-to-door" services. It exits from the Xinjiang port and spans across the Eurasian continent, known as the "fourth logistics channel" after sea, air, and railway transportation. Compared to traditional methods, Cathay Pacific has found a delicate balance between timeliness and cost - its transportation time was once on par with air freight, while costs were reduced by nearly 40%; Meanwhile, it is 2 to 3 weeks shorter than sea freight, providing a highly competitive option for high value-added products that are sensitive to delivery cycles.

Since the beginning of this year, facing the complex international situation and regional logistics bottlenecks, China Europe Airways has innovatively opened up a "third channel" that passes through Turkmenistan, crosses the Caspian Sea, and connects the Caucasus region. This route effectively avoids the congestion points of traditional routes and is capable of carrying special categories of goods such as batteries and robots. With its four advantages of "smoother routes, more flexible categories, higher cost-effectiveness, and more accurate services", it provides a stable and reliable new choice for foreign trade enterprises.

Enterprise Practice:

Responding quickly and escorting stable sailing

Naisida Automation Technology Co., Ltd. is a national level specialized and innovative "little giant" enterprise, dedicated to providing intelligent manufacturing solutions for the global automotive parts industry for a long time. With the maturity of business models and the diversification of customer demands, enterprises urgently need to expand their international logistics solutions beyond sea and air freight.

In the past, we struggled to balance the long cycle of sea transportation with the high cost of air transportation. We had to ensure the safety of dozens of precision equipment and transport them in batches, while also meeting customers' strict expectations for project progress, "said Jin Hong, the person in charge of Nesda.

And for the entire production line exported to Poland this time, we tried the China Europe Card Airlines for the first time. They are also local enterprises in Suzhou, demonstrating their strong ability to customize solutions and professional service spirit.

The intelligent production line for this transportation has a large scale and is loaded with 8 European standard vehicles. Through the "Third Channel" of China Europe Card Airlines, the cargo departs from Suzhou, passes through Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, is connected by a Caspian ferry, passes through Azerbaijan and Georgia, and finally arrives in Poland, taking only about 28 days. The combination of the timeliness of "air freight like" and the economy of "sea freight like" perfectly meets the overseas demand of high-end equipment manufacturing enterprises for "stable delivery and fast response".

Empowering industries:

Beyond transportation, forging supply chain resilience

From Suzhou to Poland, NIO's intelligent production line carries the genes of Chinese innovation and also embodies the original intention of local logistics enterprises such as China Europe Card Airlines to continuously break through and serve entities.

The value of China Europe Card Airlines goes far beyond the displacement of goods between two points. For intelligent manufacturing solution providers like NIO, reliable international logistics is the cornerstone for establishing reputation and implementing localized service strategies in overseas markets. The stable expectations provided by China Europe Card Airlines enable enterprises to confidently undertake large-scale project orders, plan production and delivery rhythms more accurately, and enhance their competitiveness in the global industrial chain.

In addition, China Europe card and air services have natural mobility and network extension capabilities, which can effectively cover areas that are difficult for traditional trunk lines to penetrate, such as West Asia, the Middle East, and Southern Europe. This provides logistics support for foreign trade enterprises in Suzhou and even the Yangtze River Delta to explore emerging markets and build diversified supply chain networks.

The truck flights shuttling between Asia and Europe are like the vibrant pulse of the contemporary Silk Road, witnessing the strength of Chinese manufacturing and paving the way for a more open, efficient, and stable future economy.
