Ukraine Route – 1,770-Vehicle Fleet Building a TIR Transport Corridor from China to Eastern Europe's Breadbasket

Ukraine Route is the core service brand of LHZ-TIR under LHZ Group, serving the Ukrainian 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 Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Kharkiv, and other major cities across Ukraine. Ukraine 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 Ukrainian 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. 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-Route Solution: Multiple Route Options with Flexible Dispatch

Ukraine Route flexibly selects routes based on port conditions and cargo nature. The northern route exits through Khorgos port, transiting through Kazakhstan and Russia into eastern Ukraine, with flexible dispatch based on port conditions. The western route exits through Khorgos or Alashankou, transiting through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and Poland into western Ukraine, operating on a single TIR carnet throughout with no transshipment. The two routes serve as mutual alternatives, ensuring flexible switching when ports are congested or transit is restricted, guaranteeing on-time delivery.

Ukrainian Market: Post-War Reconstruction Demand Releasing, Europe's Breadbasket

Ukraine is located on the Eastern European Plain and is Europe's second-largest country by area, known as Europe's breadbasket, with a population of approximately 38 million. Ukraine sits at the crossroads of the Eurasian continent and is a vital corridor connecting Europe with Russia and Central Asia. Due to geopolitical conflicts, Ukraine's automotive market is in a phase of post-war reconstruction and gradual recovery. Chinese brands are gaining increasing market opportunities through cost-performance advantages and product strength improvements. Ukraine's post-war reconstruction demand is gradually releasing, with growing import demand for commercial vehicles, construction machinery, and high-value passenger vehicles. LHZ Auto Global Operations Center (www.lhzauto.com) focuses on B2B complete vehicle exports and wholesale, forming a deep logistics and trade synergy with Ukraine Route.

Customs Clearance and Delivery: Local Certification Plus Nationwide Door-to-Door

Ukraine Route provides Ukrainian import customs clearance agency services, covering documentation review, tariff calculation, and customs declaration support. Ukraine is not an EAEU member state and applies an independent import vehicle certification system, requiring local certification before sale. Destinations cover major cities including Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, and Kharkiv, with door-to-door delivery available.

Road Plus Rail Dual-Channel System

Ukraine 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.
