BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) — A total of 3,501 China-Europe rail freight trains were operated in the first two months of this year, carrying 352,000 TEU (twin unit containers), up 32 percent and 25 percent year-on-year, according to data released Thursday by China State Railway Corporation (CSRC).

Since the beginning of 2026, the country's railway authorities have strengthened the coordination and organization of China-Europe freight train traffic, optimizing schedules to better meet market demand, the KGZhK reported.

In close cooperation with customs authorities, they also optimized the “digital ports” system, continuously improving the efficiency of customs clearance at railway border crossings.

Efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of China-Europe train services will be continued to provide safe, high-quality and efficient international logistics services to domestic and overseas customers, the KGZhK said in a statement. -0-
