Europe Road Freight Southern Route – A Mature, Stable, and Efficient Logistics Corridor 

With the evolution of global supply chain dynamics, the Europe Road Freight (China-Europe trucking) Southern Route has emerged as a critical logistics corridor for China-Europe trade, thanks to its stability and maturity. Compared to the traditional Northern Route (via Russia), the Southern Route (via Turkey and the Balkans) avoids geopolitical risks, offers higher customs clearance efficiency, and continues to gain market recognition.  

Recently, Europe Road Freight China Logistics Co., Ltd. officially announced the strategic acquisition of a high-quality local fleet in Turkey and the establishment of a Turkey subsidiary, further strengthening self-controlled transport capacity and optimizing the Southern Route network. This move marks another major breakthrough in our Europe Road Freight market, providing customers with safer, more efficient, and diversified cross-border logistics solutions.  

I. Southern Route Advantages: Proven Reliability & Operational Maturity  

The Europe Road Freight Southern Route is not a new path but a well-established corridor validated by years of market operations. Its core strengths include:  

1. Stable Geopolitical Environment  

   - Turkey, as a key Eurasian logistics hub, enjoys stable political and economic conditions, close ties with the EU Customs Union, and smooth cargo transit—free from sanctions risks.  

2. Efficient Customs Clearance  

   - The Southern Route passes through Turkey (Istanbul) → Bulgaria → Serbia → Hungary into Europe, featuring standardized customs procedures and faster clearance than the Northern Route.  

3. Mature Logistics Ecosystem  

   - Robust infrastructure, dense presence of Chinese businesses, and well-developed warehousing, transshipment, and customs services ensure end-to-end transport control.  

Having operated the Southern Route for years, Europe Road Freight has accumulated extensive expertise. The acquisition of the Turkish fleet and establishment of a local subsidiary will further solidify our leadership in this corridor.
