Full container load and less-than-container load rail services—flexible capacity whether you ship a full wagon or consolidated cargo.
Door-to-Door to Europe & Beyond
Door-to-door rail freight to Europe and neighboring countries including Vietnam and Russia—pickup, transit, and final delivery coordinated end to end.
Reliable & Straightforward
Reliable service with easy procedures and affordable quotes—ERA handles documentation and corridor coordination so your shipment stays on track.
Rail Freight: The Middle Ground Between China & Europe
When sea freight is too slow and air freight is too expensive, rail offers the sweet spot—typically reaching Europe in around two to three weeks at a fraction of air cost, with stable schedules along established China–Europe corridors.
Consider LCL rail consolidation for smaller shipments to share container space and lower your per-unit cost. For regular volumes, FCL rail locks in capacity and pricing. Ask ERA for a door-to-door quote to include pickup, customs, and last-mile delivery in one affordable package.
