RAILWAY FREIGHT TRANSPORT ITALY-CHINA – NEW SILK ROAD

GPC makes available rail freight transport Italy-China for its customers. The project for the construction of a railway network linking Italy to China has recently developed and today the railway network reaches 60 countries, crossing Europe, Central Asia, Mongolia and Russia and move about 300,000 TEUs a year.
This mode of transport is cheaper than an airway and faster than a seaway, even if today it concerns mainly 40 ‘feet containers (standard and HC).
