When speed, cost, and reliability all matter — what’s the right transport mix? For many supply chains, the answer increasingly sits between air and ocean: rail. Electrolux Group faced this exact challenge — moving a time-critical, high-volume order from Turkey to China without compromising on cost efficiency or delivery reliability. Why rail in this case? → Faster than ocean on long-distance corridors → More cost-efficient than air for large volumes → Reliable schedules when designed as dedicated solutions So we built a block train via the Middle Corridor — quoted, planned, and ready to move within two weeks. What this delivered for Electrolux: ✔ End-to-end transit in 30 days ✔ Full shipment visibility with live GPS tracking ✔ Seamless coordination across Turkey and China teams ✔ A balanced cost-speed solution for a critical shipment Rail isn’t just an alternative. It’s a strategic lever — when the corridor, volume, and timelines align. Where could rail fit into your supply chain strategy?
