East China’s Jiangsu province operated 1095 China Europe freight trains in the first six months of this year, up 7.8% year-on-year, achieving 54.75% of the annual target with a return full load growth of over 20%.
The Huaihai International Land Port Railway Distribution Center in Xuzhou welcomed a return train loaded with 124 TEUs of Russian electrolytic copper.
This freight train has a load of more than 1600 tons and a value of about 93 million yuan, which is the highest single value of the return train of the Trans-Eurasia Logistics in Xuzhou over the years.
“Since the beginning of this year, Xuzhou China Europe Freight Train Co., Ltd. has focused on the development of high value products such as aluminum ingots and plastic particles, effectively improving the characteristics of Trans-Eurasia Logistics in Xuzhou, which used to focus on low value products such as wood and wood products, and increasing the trade volume of return trains”, Gao Boyang, Deputy Director of Marketing Department of Xuzhou International Freight Train Co., Ltd., said.
Since the beginning of this year, various regions in Jiangsu have strengthened the organization of goods sources and the allocation of transportation capacity, effectively supporting the continuous growth of China Europe freight trains.
Nanjing is fully committed to launching cross-border e-commerce, grain, livelihood, postal, and commodity truck freight trains, ensuring the transportation of key enterprises and important materials.
Suzhou has launched the "Railway Express" business model, saving 24 hours of customs clearance time, shortening the overall operating time by 1-2 days, and improving the efficiency of goods clearance and transportation.
Wuxi has launched a "continuation train" to save local enterprises 20% of transportation costs and increase the efficiency by 30%.
The China Europe freight train has become an important bridge for Jiangsu's opening up to the outside world, helping more and more Jiangsu enterprises and Jiangsu products "go global". According to the statistics of Nanjing Customs, in the first half of this year, Jiangsu recorded 16.2-billion-yuan worth of imports and exports through China Europe freight trains with Belt and Road countries and regions, up 16% year on year.
