XI'AN, Sept. 24 (Xinhua) — The China-Europe Freight Train Index, jointly developed by the dry port branch of the China Association of Development Zones and the China Economic Information Service, was officially launched in Xi'an, northwest China's Shaanxi Province, on Tuesday.
The launch of this index is a key feature of the conference on the development of China's dry ports and logistics hubs, held in Xi'an as part of the 2025 Eurasian Economic Forum. It marks the entry of China-Europe freight trains into a new stage of digital assessment and high-quality development.
According to the Xinhua Index Institute under the China Economic Information Service, the new index systematically evaluates the role of China-Europe freight trains in improving logistics efficiency, promoting regional coordination and enhancing supply chain resilience, and characterizes the current status and development potential of such trains in terms of transportation scale, operational efficiency, trade quality and service level.
To date, the total number of China-Europe freight train departures has exceeded 110,000, and their development has gradually entered a key transition period of quality improvement. The China-Europe Freight Train Index can provide the industry with a "digital ruler" to measure its development and facilitate optimal resource allocation.
"We will deeply explore the intrinsic value of China-Europe trains, gradually establish an index matrix system and index ecology, strive to turn the index into a benchmark for digital management of international logistics, and strive to provide key data for the development of international land transport regulations and standards," the Xinhua Index Institute noted.
Wang Lei, Vice Chairman of the China Association of Development Zones, noted that the China-Europe Train Index, focusing on the number, frequency, and growth rate of China-Europe trains, quantitatively demonstrates the performance of dry ports in areas such as improving the channel's promotional functions and strengthening industrial coordination.
“This index can not only provide domestic dry ports with scientifically based data and decision-making basis, but also contribute to improving logistics efficiency, industrial upgrading, and optimizing the placement of dry ports in the region,” Wang Lei added. -0-
