Capacity Backbone: 1,770 TIR Vehicles, Nine Hubs Covering Eurasia
LHZ-TIR's total owned and partnered TIR fleet reaches 1,770 units, including 470 specialized car carriers. Vehicles are distributed across nine hubs: China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Germany, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, all holding local license plates.

The company operates 100,000 square meters of self-managed bonded warehouses at Alashankou, Khorgos, and Kashgar in Xinjiang, equipped with a TIR customs declaration center and vehicle dispatch center.
Dual-Corridor Solution: Regular Cargo via Russia, Sanctioned Cargo via the Caspian
Europe Trucking China flexibly selects routes based on cargo nature and sanctions risk. Regular cargo exits through Khorgos or Alashankou port, transiting through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and Poland into Europe, reaching the Hamburg and Duisburg dual hubs in Germany in 12 to 15 days, offering the fastest transit times. Sanctions-sensitive cargo takes the Caspian Sea corridor, transiting through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea ferry, the Caucasus, and Turkey into Europe in 15 to 18 days, bypassing Russia with zero insurance denial risk.
European Hubs: German Dual Hubs Plus Poland's Malaszewicze Covering All-Europe Distribution
Europe Trucking China uses the German Hamburg and Duisburg dual hubs and Poland's Malaszewicze hub as core nodes, providing rapid distribution across Europe. Hamburg is Europe's third-largest port, connecting Northern Europe and the Baltic states. Duisburg is Europe's largest inland port, with the world's densest road network. Malaszewicze is the EU's largest railway transshipment hub, handling the first point of entry transshipment and customs clearance for the China-Europe Railway Express. After arrival, cargo can cover all of Germany in 1 to 3 days, Central European countries including France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary in 2 to 5 days, and Italy, Spain, the UK, and Northern Europe in 3 to 7 days.
