China-Europe And China-Vietnam Trains - Dream Linkage Opens Up New Channels For International Trade

Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture Land-Port Highway-Rail Combined Transport Co., Ltd. General Manager Ma Jian: Compared with the northern route, our outbound goods can reach their destination in a shorter time of 4 to 5 days. According to our calculation, the transportation cost should be nearly one-third less than that of road transportation.

　　 Since last year, the Xinjiang Railway Department has continuously explored and improved the operation mode of China-Europe Express Railroad and Rail Combined Transport. At present, the goods exported from the land ports in Kashgar and Kezhou via railway transit have reached 5 countries, and the product categories have increased by nearly 10 kinds.

　　China-Vietnam Express and China-Europe Express have realized joint transportation for the first time

　　 On the afternoon of the 27th, the 42090 train carried 250 tons of materials from Guangxi Pingxiang Railway Station to Belgium. This is the first time that China-Vietnam train and China-Europe train have realized joint transportation, and it is also the first time that my country has cooperated with Vietnam to operate a Vietnam-Europe train.

　　 This joint transportation is divided into two itineraries. The Vietnam Railway Corporation is responsible for the transportation from Vietnam to China, and the China National Railway Group is responsible for the transportation from China to Belgium. This train is expected to run for 25 days. After being transferred and reorganized in Zhengzhou, it will pass through Kazakhstan, Russia and other countries, and finally arrive in Belgium.

　　 Compared with the original ocean freight, the combined transportation of China-Vietnam train and China-Europe train can save about one week of transportation time. It is expected that in August of this year, China will continue to cooperate with Vietnam to open two China-Vietnam and China-Europe joint transportation trains to carry goods such as electronic products and production and living materials.
