URUMQI, March 28 (Xinhua) — A container truck with TIR (Transport International Road) marking left the Irkeshtam Port in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region on Friday, marking the successful completion of China's first international transport operation under the TIR multimodal transport scheme.
This shipment of loaded goods, consisting of 32 packages of Chinese-made auto parts, was dispatched on March 16 from Xianyang International Airport in Xi'an. It was then transported by rail from Xi'an to Kashgar, then transited via TIR through the Irkeshtam border crossing, and will ultimately be delivered to Uzbekistan. The entire journey from dispatch to departure took 11 days, which is 3-5 days faster than traditional shipping.
The key innovation of this service is the deep integration of two highly efficient transportation modes—multimodal transport and TIR—with an intelligent customs control system. Its implementation not only provides companies with more flexible, efficient, and cost-effective cross-border logistics solutions but also reduces overall logistics costs and further improves the multimodal transportation system from China to the West, South Asia, and Europe.
Irkeshtam, one of China's westernmost land border crossings, borders Kyrgyzstan and serves as an important hub connecting Central Asia, West Asia, and even Europe. -0-
