This is another argument in favor of the land route, which is considered to be reliable and on schedule. Trains only have narrow time windows available to clear customs at the Chinese and Polish borders, which must be strictly adhered to.<\/p>\n<p>Environmental aspects were a major consideration for at least 27% of respondents, since rail transport uses the least amount of CO2 compared with other cargo transport methods.

The route passes through different climate zones and altitudes. It is also not electrified along the entire distance, so there is no guarantee that refrigerated wagons will operate consistently. This means sensitive products such as medication or food cannot be carried, and dangerous goods are completely prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>The most suitable goods for shipping by train are high-value ones that take up little space. The higher the value per kg, the more the cost of the train journey becomes comparable with sea travel.

Companies seeking to qualify new suppliers in these areas should define suitable product groups and carry out targeted searches. However, nothing is possible without professional risk management, since there have been no stable trade relationships with these markets to date. Equally, existing regulations could become stricter, and lead to price increases or delivery delays. It is sensible to build up supplier relationships cautiously with partners in these countries, and undoubtedly to maintain existing ties with reliable suppliers.<\/p>\n<p>We expect the New Silk Road overland connection to be used even more in the future. The corona epidemic could prove to be a catalyst here. The rail line will become a middle ground between fast but expensive transport by plane and the cheap but slow way by ship. As connections are extended, and a southern route through Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and Turkey becomes available in the future, there is an opportunity to connect even more markets to international trade flows. Companies in Europe should now assess the rewards they can reap, but without losing sight of the risks.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"icon-boxes fazit-box is-summary-box  \" data-moduleID=\"64318\">\n        <div class=\"icon-box mb-7 has-icon  fadeIn\" style=\"border-color: rgb(102, 102, 153);\" data-animated-icon=\"true\">\n        \n            <div class=\"icon\">\n                <div class=\"inner\">\n\n                                                                        <svg id=\"animatedIcon-9f0e4510a72400b2f24b845344ac92f8\" data-id=\"9f0e4510a72400b2f24b845344ac92f8\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/w3.org\/2000\/svg\" xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" x=\"0px\" y=\"0px\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 64\" xml:space=\"preserve\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\">\n                                <path fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M43,16.4c-3.2-3.1-7.4-4.6-11.8-4.4C23,12.4,16.3,19.2,16,27.4c-0.2,5.1,2.1,10,6.1,13.2C24,42,25,44.1,25,46.2V47h6V34.5l-5.5-3.7c-0.5-0.3-0.6-0.9-0.3-1.4c0.3-0.5,0.9-0.6,1.4-0.3l5.4,3.6l5.5-3.6c0.5-0.3,1.1-0.2,1.4,0.3c0.3,0.5,0.2,1.1-0.3,1.4L33,34.5V47h6v-0.8c0-2.2,1-4.2,2.9-5.7C45.8,37.5,48,32.9,48,28C48,23.6,46.2,19.5,43,16.4z\"\/>\n                                <path d=\"M27,49h-2v5c0,0.5,0.5,1,1,1h1.1h9.8H38c0.5,0,1-0.5,1-1v-5h-2H27z\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\"\/>\n                                <path d=\"M32,60c3,0,4-2,4-3h-8C28,58,29,60,32,60z\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" \/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"9.9\" y1=\"10.5\" x2=\"16.4\" y2=\"15.6\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"47.9\" y1=\"36.6\" x2=\"54.4\" y2=\"41.7\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"9.5\" y1=\"41.4\" x2=\"15.8\" y2=\"36.1\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"48.2\" y1=\"15.7\" x2=\"54.5\" y2=\"10.4\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"32\" y1=\"1.8\" x2=\"31.9\" y2=\"10\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"14.1\" y1=\"26\" x2=\"5.8\" y2=\"26\"\/>\n                                <line fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke=\"#f39100\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" class=\"st0\" x1=\"58.1\" y1=\"26\" x2=\"49.9\" y2=\"26\"\/>\n                            <\/svg>\n                        \n                    \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n        \n        \n            <h3 class=\"title\" style=\"color: rgb(102, 102, 153)\">\n                CONCLUSION\n            <\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"content\">\n                <p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Thanks to the significantly shorter delivery times, the train route has resulted in a faster time-to-market, increased flexibility, lower storage costs, and, in turn, less tied-up capital. The train can also provide a cheaper transport solution, especially with smaller quantities of high-value goods. Companies should look into whether the New Silk Road is a viable alternative for their needs from the Far East. As framework conditions can change, e.g. due to the planned reduction of subsidies, it is important to review transport choices at regular intervals<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"authors-section fadeIn  \">\n        <div class=\"px-md-5 pt-5 pt-md-0\">\n            <h2>                  Authors\n                <\/h2>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"row\">\n                            <div class=\"mb-5 col-md-6 mb-md-0\">\n                    <div class=\"author px-4 px-md-5\">\n                                                    <figure>\n                                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/inverto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Patrick_Lepperhoff_Website-250x250.png\" class=\"img-fluid\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inverto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Patrick_Lepperhoff_Website-250x250.png 250w, https:\/\/inverto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Patrick_Lepperhoff_Website-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>\n                            <\/figure>\n                        \n                        <h3>Patrick Lepperhoff<\/h3>\n\n                        <div class=\"short-desc\"><p>is a Principal at KGM Strategy in Cologne.
