Cainiao adds highway route to Europe
Cainiao, the logistics arm of Alibaba Group, is introducing a new highway delivery route to send small electronics, batteries, and cosmetics from south China’s manufacturing hub Dongguan to the platform’s hub in Liège.
The daily delivery service will help Chinese exporters ship powder and liquid products that are otherwise restricted by air freight or cargo shipping routes to Europe. It takes around two weeks for the products to reach Cainiao’s warehouse in Liège, where they can be dispatched to as many as 20 European countries.
The highway route is cheaper than air freight. This provides manufacturers in cross-border e-commerce with a more cost-effective logistic option ahead of the year-end holiday shopping season. (cj)
