The Netherlands - China
Since many years BTT is renowned for transport via road, railway and water. With the professional integration of these modalities, BTT Freightmanagement offers perfect door-to-door solutions. BTT Freightmanagement maintains direct railway connections between the own terminal in Tilburg, Railport Brabant, and several terminals in central and eastern Europe. In addition there is a unique direct railway connection with Chengdu in China.
Chengdu - Tilburg - Rotterdam Express
The Chengdu - Tilburg - Rotterdam Express is the fastest and only direct railway connection between China and the Netherlands. This unique connection enables the transportation of containers from China to the Netherlands and vice versa within 15 days. This is many times faster than transport by sea freight (45 days) and just a few days extra than air freight (7 days), while the rates are only a quarter of the airfreight rates and less than double of the sea freight rates.
