Background to service development

As logistics needs become more diversified and sophisticated in line with the rapid growth of the Vietnamese economy, demand is on the rise for a north-south logistics network to serve as a key route between manufacturing bases and consumption centers. In response, NX Vietnam launched a rail transport service in June 2024 connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (approximately 1,700km) in about 48 hours (*1). This service has been well received by many customers as a high-quality service that helps reduce the environmental impact of logistics.

 

NX Vietnam has now launched an LCL (Less than Container Load) service to supplement its existing FCL (Full Container Load) service, utilizing its own warehouses as incoming/outgoing container freight stations (CFSs). Loading and unloading of containers will be performed in-house to ensure high-quality service. This approach enables efficient and sustainable transport of smaller quantities of cargoes that do not fill a single container and provides more customers with flexible and cost-effective logistics solutions.

 

Overview of rail container consolidation (LCL) service

Route: Between Hanoi CFS and Ho Chi Minh City CFS

Transport frequency: Twice a week (from Hanoi on Wednesday and Friday; from Ho Chi Minh City on Tuesday and Saturday)

Transport time: About 58 hours (between Quang Minh Logistics Center's CFS and Song Than Logistics Center's CFS)

CO2 emissions: Approximately one-fifth those of truck transport (*2)
