BEIJING, October 28 (Xinhua) — On October 27, a container train carrying furniture, auto parts, and other goods departed the international dry port in Beijing's Fangshan District for Tacheng, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, northwest China. Some of the cargo will then be transported by road to Almaty, Kazakhstan, via the Baktu border crossing.
Thus, cross-border multimodal transportation via the "railway-highway" route from Beijing to Almaty and back has opened, marking the emergence of a new, efficient logistics channel linking the Chinese capital with Central Asia. This was reported on Monday by the news portal chinanews.com.cn.
Wang Chuanmeng, general manager of Beijing Fangshan International Dry Port Operation Company, said that multimodal transportation using rail and road is more flexible and can better meet the needs of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises with small cargo volumes and higher delivery time requirements, and is conducive to improving logistics service levels and developing international trade.
Wang Dong, head of the marketing department at the logistics center of the Beijing branch of China State Railway Corporation, said that in the future, the railway department will continue to improve the business model of multimodal rail and road transportation, refine service plans according to the needs of enterprises in various industries, help more Beijing companies expand the international market, and inject new impetus into Beijing's integration into the high-quality joint construction of the Belt and Road.
