To shorten lead times and ensure stable transportation to Central Asian countries, which are difficult to access, we developed a multi-modal sea-land route that transports goods from Japan via various Chinese ports by rail and truck. Thiscross-border solution, overseen by the NX Group through a single point of contact for the entire process, has been well-received by companies handling consumer goods, such as automobile manufacturers, tire manufacturers, and furniture manufacturers, since its release in August 2022.

Characteristics of cross-border sea and land multimodal transport from Japan to Central Asia
Expanding options via China
In addition to the conventional route via Russia, we are developing a new multimodal sea-land route that passes through various Chinese ports. By securing multiple transportation options even as the global situation changes, we support the shortening of lead times and the creation of a system that allows for uninterrupted transport.
Flexible selection of rail and truck based on cargo characteristics.
We offer regular rail transport for standard cargo and individual truck transport for oversized and bulky cargo. You can combine the most suitable modes of transport according to the dimensions, weight, and delivery requirements of your cargo.
Local offices and a unified point of contact for the NX Group
We have a representative office in Altmai, Kazakhstan, and we also support customs clearance procedures at the China-Kazakhstan border. The NX Group oversees everything from sea transport, port arrangements, rail/truck dispatch, customs clearance, and local transportation, allowing shippers to track and coordinate the progress of the entire process through a single point of contact.
