China Europe train creates the largest "transport capacity pool" of "one belt and one road"
At about 5:00 on July 22, the China Europe train, loaded with 45 high-quality light industrial products from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, slowly left Dalang station, the Guangzhou railway hub, all the way northward. It is expected to arrive in Moscow, the Russian capital, 15 days later. This is the 30th China Europe train from Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao to Russia this year. As of July 22, 94 China Europe trains have been opened in the Great Bay area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao this year, an increase of 15% over the same period last year.
According to the Guangzhou freight center of China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the whole journey of the train is more than 11000 kilometers, which is one of the longest international trains in the world. The China Europe train can transport more than 1200 tons of materials abroad in one trip, which is more than 15 days faster than the current sea transportation, and the transportation price is relatively cheap. It has the advantages of time and cost, not only departing on time, but also arriving in limited time. At present, the global epidemic situation has not been effectively curbed, and shipping and air transportation have been greatly affected. At the same time, the advantages of China Europe train transportation have been further demonstrated.
Zhu Luzhi, general manager of Shenzhen Ocean Logistics Co., Ltd., believes that the operation of China Europe train meets the needs of modern logistics development and provides a new channel for Guangdong products to export to Russia. "The reputation, popularity and praise of China Europe train brands are getting higher and higher. We not only trust China Europe Express, but also actively use wechat, nail and other platforms to promote this national brand. At present, the turnover of the company's international freight railway greatly exceeds that of air transportation. "
Since the beginning of this year, the China Europe Express in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao has been favored by domestic and foreign shippers. At present, more than 100 domestic and international logistics companies have joined hands with Guangzhou Bureau Group Company to deliver hundreds of industrial products from Dawan district and agricultural products from European countries to China Europe train in an orderly manner. In order to facilitate the consignor to transport goods, Guangzhou Bureau Group Company will also receive, pick up, deliver and reach the "last kilometer" service. At present, the major freight yards in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao have been incorporated into the "pick up and delivery" service outlets to carry out "door-to-door" transportation services to relieve the worries of cargo owners.
Since this year, in accordance with the central government's "six stability" and "six guarantees" deployment requirements, the State Railway Group has scientifically arranged the transport capacity and reasonably laid out the lines. Taking the opportunity of opening the China Europe train, it has better served the countries along the "belt and road", boosted the economy, promoted the people's livelihood, and accelerated the construction of the "belt and road". In the first half of this year, a total of 5122 China Europe trains were operated, up 36% year on year. In the first seven months of this year, it is estimated that the China Europe train in Guangdong Province will run more than 100 times, with a traffic volume of 55000 tons, accounting for 80% of the international freight volume of Guangdong railway. As the main force of land transportation connecting countries, China Europe train has become the main bridge and hub of import and export trade of various countries under the situation of large-scale stagnation of sea and air transportation.
"As the most developed and frequent area of foreign trade in China, the demand for foreign trade in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Bay area will be further strong in the second half of this year relying on China Europe train. Therefore, there is a strong demand for the operation of China Europe train in Dawan district. " Huang liming, chief engineer of the freight Department of Guangzhou Bureau Group Company, said that Guangzhou Bureau Group Company is making great efforts to lay out lines, do a good job in epidemic prevention and disinfection, strengthen loading and unloading safety, arrange backbone personnel to connect with domestic and foreign cargo owners, so that the cargo owners can put forward demands at any time, the railway can accept the goods at any time, and the goods can be collected and transported as soon as they arrive.
"China is now the second largest logistics power in the world. The logistics industry has been so developed that China's railway, which leads the world, should be the main force. " Ma Renhong, executive chairman of Guangdong Logistics Association, believes that relying on China Europe trains to speed up trade, railways have played a positive role in speeding up the development of global logistics industry. On the one hand, it actively promotes China's export products to expand the international market; on the other hand, it enables European countries to share the benefits and conveniences brought by China's railway freight trains, so as to promote the common development and common prosperity of China and Europe.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's high-speed rail, the capacity of existing lines has been released in large quantities. In this context, the State Railway Group has launched a series of transportation products, such as high-speed rail express, e-commerce train, customized train and China Europe train, which greatly reduces the logistics cost of the whole society, improves the utilization efficiency of social resources, improves the social logistics structure, and promotes the rapid development of domestic and international logistics industry.
Professor Chi Li, an international logistics expert in Guangdong Province, said that in the global comprehensive transportation system, railway is not only the safest and most environmentally friendly, but also the lowest logistics cost. China Europe train is profoundly changing the global logistics industry chain. China's railway has made great efforts to build the China Europe train into the largest "transport capacity pool" of the "belt and road", which is the value choice for China's railway to integrate into the global modern logistics development, and truly realize the "c-driven-b" business model with global consumers as the core.
