Stable growth of China EU trains, helping Europe export new transportation mode
A freight train full of auto parts is preparing to leave for Poland at the Alashankou railway station in Xinjiang, the report said. This is only a microcosm. Last year, the European economy was in a mess because of COVID-19. However, because the price of railway transportation between China and Europe is cheaper than that of air transportation, and the transportation speed is faster than that of sea transportation, the number of trains between China and Europe has continued to increase. Especially for epidemic prevention materials, China Europe train is the best means of transportation.
According to the relevant person in charge of Alashankou railway station, in 2019, there will be an average of 10 China Europe trains departing from here every day. In 2020, there will be 14 trains per day, with the peak of 23 trains per day.
According to the analysis, the future of the China EU train will become clearer after the completion of the negotiation of the China EU investment agreement. After the implementation of the new train diagram on October 11, 2020, the number of China EU trains has reached 73. As of November 5, China EU trains have reached 92 cities and 21 countries in Europe. China has one belt, one road, and one belt, one road, and China has signed 201 cooperation documents with 138 countries and 31 international organizations. In July this year, the first China Europe train from central China to Ukraine arrived at liski freight station in Kiev. China's electronic products, high-end instruments, agricultural equipment, medical supplies and other products went out, and Ukraine's timber, mineral and agricultural resources came in, realizing the two-way circulation of logistics between countries. In the context of economic globalization, the two-way circulation of logistics trade not only benefits both sides, but also effectively speeds up the pace of returning to work and production, and injects new vitality into the global fight against the epidemic.
At present, the price of shipping containers from Shanghai to Europe has reached the highest level in history. Although the price of China Europe trains is 30% higher than that of shipping, the transportation time is shorter. It takes about 40 days to transport goods to Europe by sea, such as Germany, Hamburg, Belgium, Russia, France, Poland and other countries, but it only takes 20 days by rail
