BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — The number of freight trains running on China-Central Asia international freight railway routes in China in the first eight months of this year was 9,626, up 22.7 percent year-on-year, the People's Daily reported, citing a source with China Railways.
During the reporting period, these trains transported 751 thousand standard containers /TEU, twenty-foot equivalent unit/, which is 31.1 percent more than a year earlier. It is worth noting that as of August 31 of this year, since the launch of the relevant services, China-Central Asia freight trains have made a total of over 69 thousand trips, transporting 5.19 million TEU of cargo.
Thanks to the operation of the China-Laos Railway, the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor and other logistics channels, China-Central Asia freight train services now cover 128 prefecture-level cities in China, as well as more than 100 cities in 11 other Asian countries.
Currently, these trains transport 22 types of products, including new energy vehicles, photovoltaic products and mechanical equipment.
They bring cotton yarn, antimony ore, granulated wheat bran and barley from Central Asia, as well as tropical fruits, fertilizers and iron ore from Southeast Asia, to China, while Chinese-made products including electric vehicles, photovoltaic components, electronics and household goods reach markets in many countries and regions of Asia.
