Beijing, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) — During the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), east China's Jiangsu Province plans to promote the construction of collection and distribution centers for China-Europe rail freight routes in Lianyungang and Xuzhou, and develop Suzhou into a key hub for China-Europe rail freight routes, eventually turning it into a hub for China-Europe international rail freight transportation in the Yangtze River Delta region, Zhongxinshe News Agency reported, citing Wu Yonghong, head of the provincial transportation bureau, at a meeting on Jiangsu Provincial Transportation Work in 2026 held on Wednesday.
According to statistics from the aforementioned department, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-2025), Jiangsu Province handled a total of 10,490 China-Europe trains, an increase of 99.6 percent compared to the previous five years. Specifically, in 2025, the number of China-Europe train arrivals and departures in this province reached 2,308, setting a record for the sixth consecutive year.
Wu Yonghong said that in 2026, the provincial government will make efforts to improve the capacity of international freight service, build a high-standard China-Europe freight train collection and distribution center in Lianyungang and Xuzhou, open another new route, add one overseas warehouse, and create branded routes in intermodal sea and rail container transportation, such as the Lianyungang-Khorgos-Tashkent route.
