Thirteen years since the China-Europe Railway Express (CRE), a crucial link in international logistics, began operations in Duisburg, the German city’s profile as a key hub on the railway has been steadily rising.
During a recent visit by Xinhua reporters, bustling terminals, ports, and warehouses in Duisburg highlighted the city’s growing vitality. The CRE has significantly impacted the local business community.
At one of Duisburg’s central logistics centers, AUKLogis GmbH, a German subsidiary of the Chinese logistics company Western Post, provides storage and customs clearance services for clients using CRE services. The company has witnessed a shift in local traders’ perceptions of the service, from initial skepticism to recognition, resulting in long-term partnerships. “Our clients often highlight the railway’s speed and reliability, which are unmatched by other freight methods,” said Fan Yuliang, warehouse manager of AUKLogis GmbH. As the routes expand and improve, trust in the service has continued to grow.
