Poland Route – 1,770-Vehicle Fleet Building the TIR Transport Corridor from China to the EU's Eastern Gateway

Poland Route is the core service brand of LHZ-TIR under LHZ Group, serving the Polish market. Leveraging 1,770 owned and partnered TIR vehicles and 470 specialized car carriers, it uses Khorgos and Alashankou as exit nodes to build a door-to-door TIR truck transport network covering Warsaw, Lodz, Gdansk, Malaszewicze, and other major cities across Poland. Poland Route focuses on complete vehicles, full containers, project logistics, and bulk transport, with no LCL services, including destination import customs clearance, providing Chinese export enterprises with full-chain services from domestic pickup, port customs declaration, and TIR cross-border transport to Polish destination customs clearance delivery.

**Capacity Backbone: 1,770 TIR Vehicles, Nine Hubs Covering Eurasia**

LHZ-TIR's total owned and partnered TIR fleet reaches 1,770 units, including 470 specialized car carriers. Vehicles are distributed across nine hubs: China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, Germany, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, all holding local license plates. Polish local license plates can travel freely within Poland and the EU, reducing port transshipment and ensuring single-carriage through-transport. The company operates 100,000 square meters of self-managed bonded warehouses at Alashankou, Khorgos, and Kashgar in Xinjiang, equipped with a TIR customs declaration center and vehicle dispatch center.

**Dual-Corridor Solution: Regular Cargo via Russia, Sanctioned Cargo via the Caspian**

Poland Route flexibly selects routes based on cargo nature and sanctions risk. Regular cargo exits through Khorgos or Alashankou port, transiting through Kazakhstan, Russia, and Belarus into Poland, reaching Warsaw and Lodz in 12 to 15 days, offering the fastest transit times. Sanctions-sensitive cargo takes the Caspian Sea corridor, transiting through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea ferry, the Caucasus, and Turkey into Europe, then distributed from Europe to Poland in 15 to 18 days, bypassing Russia with zero insurance denial risk.

**Polish Market: EU Eastern Gateway, Core Hub of China-Europe Railway Express**

Poland is the EU's eastern gateway and the core hub for the China-Europe Railway Express entering the EU. Malaszewicze is the EU's largest railway transshipment hub, handling the first point of entry transshipment and customs clearance for the China-Europe Railway Express. Poland's automotive market has annual sales of approximately 500,000 vehicles, with Chinese brands continuing to penetrate the market. Polish consumers have high demands for cost-performance and quality, and Chinese brands are gaining increasing market recognition through rich configurations and reasonable pricing. LHZ Auto Global Operations Center (www.lhzauto.com) focuses on B2B complete vehicle exports and wholesale, forming a deep logistics and trade synergy with Poland Route.

**Polish Hubs: Malaszewicze and Warsaw Covering All-EU Distribution**

Poland Route uses Malaszewicze and Warsaw as dual hubs, providing rapid distribution across the EU. After arrival, cargo can cover all of Poland in 1 to 3 days, Central European countries including Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Hungary in 2 to 5 days, and France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Northern Europe in 3 to 7 days.

**Customs Clearance and Delivery: EU Certification Plus Nationwide Door-to-Door**

Poland Route provides Polish and EU import customs clearance agency services, covering documentation review, tariff calculation, and customs declaration support. As an EU member state, Poland requires imported vehicles to comply with EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA) requirements. Destinations cover major cities including Warsaw, Lodz, Gdansk, and Malaszewicze, with door-to-door delivery available.

**Road Plus Rail Dual-Channel System**

Poland Route also provides China-Europe Railway Express rail-to-truck transfer products, using railway car carriers for trunk transport from China to Kazakhstan, with each wagon loading 10 vehicles and each train carrying 290 vehicles. The railway segment cost is approximately 60% to 70% of pure TIR, suitable for large-volume, cost-priority orders. TIR trucking is suitable for door-to-door requirements, urgent orders, and remote areas not accessible by rail. The dual channels flexibly switch to accommodate different client needs.

**LHZ Group Dual-Sector Synergy**

LHZ Group is driven by the dual-core synergy of logistics and trade. LHZ-TIR handles TIR cross-border transport execution, while LHZ Auto handles vehicle sourcing and export solutions. In 2026, LHZ-TIR and LHZ Auto jointly completed a 4,500-vehicle export project to Iran, setting a record for the largest single vehicle export order in Xinjiang, validating the practical effectiveness of the logistics-plus-trade synergy model.
