China-Europe Railway Express Teams Up with Xinglongsheng: The 'Acceleration' of Cross-Border Logistics for Shandong Enterprises

On Shandong's map of opening to the outside world, the collaboration between China-Europe freight trains and local logistics companies is injecting strong momentum into foreign trade logistics. The deep partnership between Xinglongsheng Logistics and the China-Europe freight trains is a vivid example of how Shandong enterprises are solving cross-border logistics challenges and achieving efficiency leaps, making the journey of “Made in Shandong” products going overseas smoother and faster.  

Previously, Shandong foreign trade enterprises often struggled with the shortcomings of traditional logistics models. Take manufacturing companies like Linglong Tire as an example: transporting products to markets in Southeast Asia required multiple transfers via sea and road, resulting in long cycles, high costs, and poor stability. The collaboration between the China-Europe freight trains and Xinglongsheng has accurately addressed this pain point. By relying on the China-Europe freight train’s Southeast Asia (Vientiane, Laos) consolidation, the boutique route jointly developed by both parties has greatly optimized the logistics chain, allowing goods to reach customers in Vientiane within a week from Shandong, significantly improving delivery efficiency.  

The collaborative advantage goes beyond time efficiency. Leveraging the China-Europe freight train’s full-process service system of “one-time entrustment, one-order-through,” Xinglongsheng has launched a global delivery service of “one-order-through.” Combined with its own overseas warehouses and customs clearance green channels, it has connected the first and last miles of cross-border transportation. This customized “train-enterprise” model not only reduces the risk of cargo delays but also effectively controls logistics costs, providing solid support for Shandong SMEs to expand overseas markets.  

Today, this “iron camel convoy” has established a logistics network covering 60 cities across 28 countries. The partnership between the China-Europe freight trains and Xinglongsheng is a microcosm of how the Shandong China-Europe freight trains serve local foreign trade enterprises. So far, the Shandong China-Europe freight trains have served over 20,000 foreign trade enterprises. Through the virtuous cycle of “logistics driving trade, trade promoting industry,” Shandong foreign trade logistics has accelerated, injecting continuous momentum into building a new high ground for opening to the outside world.
