ASEAN rail-road cross-border service launched

Nippon Express has launched a new service linking up China and neighbouring ASEAN countries via rail and truck transport.

This service includes the transports of cargo by rail between Kunming, China and Vientiane, Laos and then by truck from Vientiane to Thailand and other neighbouring ASEAN countries across the international border with Thailand's Nong Khai Province.

The new offer reduces CO2 emissions by using rail transport and shortens lead times by 0.5 days compared to conventional transport by cross-border trucks only. A trial transport has already been carried out from Kunming to Ayutthaya, Thailand. (ben)
