Low Carbon and Environmental Protection

• The energy consumption per ton - kilometer is 1 / 4 of that of road transport.

• Rail transport has lower carbon emissions than water transport in highly electrified European countries.

• The Ministry of Communications vigorously advocates 'return to railway' and its contribution to environmental protection.

Stability

• It is less affected by external factors such as weather, vehicle failure, traffic accident, and holidays, and the running time is stable.

• Fixed railway frequency (high-speed rail, postal service, luggage, container express line) is fixed and timed, and the timeline is reliable.

Safety

• The railway has proven its safety and reliability far surpassing road and water transportation through years of operation practice, and there is no risk of traffic accidents.

• The closed management of railway yards is implemented, and the cargo damage and cargo difference are less.

Cost Advantage

• The cost of long-distance bulk transportation is 50% of that of road transportation, which is much lower than that of air transportation.

• At the starting and ending points covered by railway stations in a short distance, the cost of some lines is comparable to that of water transportation.

• According to the route and the goods, the railway freight rate can be lowered.

Diversified Operating Routes/ Overseas Sites

• The throughput capacity of border ports has been strengthened.

• Growth in demand from the chemical industry.

• Flexible use of customer self LCL.

• The demand of traditional industries (electronics, auto parts, industrial manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods, machinery and equipment, etc.) is gradually saturated.
