transport logistic Shanghai 2026 will launch the brand-new China Railway Express Joint Pavilion in strategic cooperation with CRCT, accompanied by a significant expansion of its dedicated railway transport sector, marking a major highlight for this year’s show. The event will gather key rail operators and cross-border logistics players across Eurasia, forming a high-end display platform for intermodal rail transport and China Railway Express services.

Against the backdrop of shifting global supply chains, growing demand for resilient, sustainable cross-border transport has firmly positioned railway logistics as a reliable alternative to sea and air freight. As a core backbone of Eurasian connectivity, the China Railway Express – known as the modern "Steel Camel Caravan" – connects 128 Chinese cities with 232 cities across 26 European countries and more than 100 cities in 11 Asian nations, covering virtually the entire Eurasian continent. This mature, far-reaching cross-border rail network has gained strong market recognition from shippers, logistics providers and industrial authorities.

Responding to booming market demand and industry focus, transport logistic Shanghai 2026 – taking place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from June 24-26,2026 – will feature a dedicated China Railway Express Joint Pavilion.
