摘要：
This paper provides an empirical study of combined land - ocean transport within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). The analysis is based on primary data in each transport activity taking place between Yiwu and Madrid. Five scenarios are modelled using alternative transport routes. Optimal choices for multi-modal transport combinations with regards to both economic and environmental perspectives are identified. By investigating freight transport from Yiwu to Madrid using the Yixinou line, the results suggest that the BRI has significant potential to reduce the cost of freight transport from China to Europe.
