Development Status and Future Trends for Eurasian Container Land Bridge Transport

Abstract: For decades, trade between Europe and China has grown consistently, which has resulted in increased container transportation volumes. Such transportation has been dominated by sea-based options. However, over the years, an air-based mode of transport was developed, while it has lately become increasingly popular to use railways utilizing the Trans-Siberian land bridge.

“…Forest industry activities, mining and hydroelectric power generation remain prominent elements in terms of employment, business activity and general economic success. Major infrastructure investments are still being made in these areas, including a planned railway from Umeå to Haparanda, a rail line through northern Finland to the Arctic Ocean (connected to China's massive and controversial Belt and Road initiative), and upgrades on existing roads, electrical and Internet systems (Huang 2016;Hilmola, Henttu & Panova 2018;Weissmann & Rappe 2017).…”

“…According to Unctad (2021), exports from developed economies, such as France, Germany and the United Kingdom, to countries with developing economies in Asia, specially China, have experienced an increase of 29,43%. Specifically on the TSR, from 2008 to 2019, there was a 33.5% growth in traffic, reaching 26 million TEU, assuming 10 tons per TEU (Hilmola, Li, & Panova, 2021). This increased logistic capacity and the investment of USD 4-8 trillion strengthens the TSR as a cross-border routing alternative (Menhas, Mahmood, Tanchangya, Safdar, & Hussain, 2019;Wang et al, 2020).…”
