Technical Characteristics of Europe – China � Routes

Investment to upgrade rail infrastructure and terminals are needed. Between 5 to 20 percent of track are single track, between 18 to 32 percent are not electrified. Transshipment capacities at Kazakh – PRC border (Dostyk) need to be improved.

Freight Costs and Times on Europe – China � Routes


� The rail connection via Transsib is suited especially for high

value and time sensitive cargo (e.g. automotive,

electronics, chemicals) in supply chains to/from inner and

Western China.

� There is a high variability of lead times for all three routes.

Fast transit times and competitive prices can only

guaranteed by block trains instead of single railcars.

� Regular block trains need high utilization and stable

demand. Private trains for key accounts can be a

market entry strategy, regular public trains should

follow.

� Availability of containers and railcars may cause

future problems (monitoring and logistics problem).

� Border crossing need to be fastened. Electronic rail

waybill and complementary e!documents are in piloting

stage (Eastwind).

� Transit cargo is of minor importance for Transsib, but

very dynamic. International container transport grew by

27% in 2011 and by 23% in 01!07/2012.

Opportunities and Challenges

In 2010 the Transsib carried 748,544 TEU (Twenty Foot Equivalent Units) of container traffic with domestic, import, export and transit traffic being respectively 66.3%, 16.8%, 14.4% and 2.4%.

Kazakh Railways plan to develop 10 Transport Logistics Centres

Kazakh Perspective

� Experiences and solutions how to establish Transport Logistics Centres including rail terminals exist. They cannot not be copied, but shared.

� Spatial and infrastructure planning and coordination is necessary between administrative levels and between Railway Enterprises and Regional Administrations.

� State owned railway companies tend to take the initiative in CIS states.

� It is of advantage if the state takes the initiative in planning and development of Transport Logistics Centres. Private investors join later.

� A stepwise development helps to avoid financing bottlenecks and overcapacities.

� Freight Villages / Transport Logistics Centres have different focus, e.g. industry, distribution for metropolitan areas, transshipment etc. They should be open / public.

Connecting Freight Villages – Development of Freight Corridors towards Green Corridors

Further growth of European FV / PLC through international networks of

rail terminals and regular train services.

Some preconditions are:

• Infrastructure Rail infrastructure within Trans European Network

Terminals � national and international financing

sources ((ERDF, Cohesion Funds, TEN!T budget, EIB)

• Technologies Container, Semitrailer, Piggyback

Innovative technologies

• Services Train operators, public versus private trains, better

logistics solutions for the shipper

• People Personal and financial resources are decisive for

integrating FV into (inter!)national networks,

otherwise they stay important regionally only
