Railway transportation is the use of railway trains to transport passengers and goods. At present, in addition to air and sea transportation, railway freight is also an increasingly attractive transportation of goods between China and Europe. It occupies a pivotal position in social material production. Its greatest advantages are fast and low cost. MOOV will give you a brief introduction to the benefits of rail transport.
high speed
According to different routes, railway transportation takes 15 to 18 days. It is about half the time it takes to transport a container by sea, therefore, it means that the transport time is greatly shortened and the transport cost will be greatly reduced. The speed of railway freight can reach hundreds of kilometers every day and night, and businesses can respond faster to meet changes in market demand. In addition, shorter transit times can result in faster turnaround of goods, which in turn reduces inventory in the supply chain. In other words, companies can free up working capital and reduce the cost of capital.
low cost
Because railway transportation is run by high-power locomotives pulling trains, it can handle long distances and large transportation sites, and at the same time, the system transportation price is reduced due to the low running resistance of locomotives and low energy consumption. Therefore, it is widely used in my country’s railways. The railway transport carriages are huge and the number of carriages is large, and one carriage can basically pull the entire carriage, so it has the characteristics of low cost.
Environmental friendly
Rail transport remains one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transport, with rail freight having significantly less CO2 emissions than air freight. Railway freight generally uses electric locomotives to avoid being affected by factors such as fuel surcharges and oil price fluctuations. Rail freight has proven to be a cost-effective method of transportation in many countries. Rail freight has dominated the world’s major markets for the past few decades. Railway freight uses electric locomotives and has a large transportation volume, which greatly reduces CO2 emissions, so railway freight is more environmentally friendly.
