Return capacity at the EU gateway
Malaszewicze is where China–Europe trains change gauge and enter the EU — and where eastbound capacity is most abundant. Polish and Central European shippers use the return trains to move industrial goods to China economically: containers are trucked to Malaszewicze, exported under EU declaration, and delivered to three Chinese arrival stations.
