Harbin, December 19 (Xinhua) — A 55-container train carrying auto parts departed Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, northeast China, on Thursday. It is expected to travel to Europe via the Manzhouli Port on the China-Russia border. This is the first China-Europe train carrying Chinese-made auto parts to depart from Heilongjiang this year, according to the Harbin branch of China Railways (CR).
The company expects two more trains carrying Chinese auto components to depart on China-Europe rail routes this month. KZhD explained this increase in frequency by the growing demand for automobiles and components, as well as for Chinese-made mechanical engineering products, as the Belt and Road Initiative advances.
Compared to traditional transportation models, China-Europe trains reduce auto parts delivery time by at least two-thirds and shipping costs by 25 percent. Furthermore, this mode of transport eliminates the need for transshipment, preventing cargo damage.
The Harbin branch of China Railways expects to further improve the quality, efficiency, and safety of China-Europe trains through structural reform of rail service offerings, optimized train schedules, expanded product range, and improved cooperation with customs authorities. This will contribute to promoting the "Made in China" brand abroad, the company stated.
