CCTV News: The trajectory of the China-Europe freight train spans the Eurasian continent and becomes an important link connecting China and the world. Since the beginning of this year, the launch of China-Europe Express (Zhengzhou) has increased by 160% year-on-year. Departing with full load and returning with full load, "returning and returning" has become a new highlight of the China-Europe freight train.
The Spring Festival holiday will not close, and after the festival, China-Europe freight trains will depart intensively and embark on a new journey. This year, Henan will also ensure that China-Europe freight trains will be launched for more than 4,000 times.
Central Channel reporter Tian Meng introduced that the China Railway Alliance Zhengzhou Central Station in the economic and development area of Zhengzhou's land-port-type national logistics hub is responsible for the operation of the China-Europe Express (Zhengzhou) and is also an important window connecting Henan's "land Silk Road". Here we see that trucks entering and leaving the site are busy, and three gantry cranes are working intensively, carrying out the lifting of the China-Europe freight trains. Since the New Year, the average number of China-Europe freight trains here every day has been more than 10.
In the cargo loading and unloading area, small forklifts shuttle back and forth and pack them quickly.
The train filled with 55 standard boxes goes north from here and enters Zhengzhou North Station, one of the largest operating stations in my country, to conduct safety inspections before departure.
The China-Europe Express starts the acceleration of transportation when it leaves Zhengzhou North Station. It will depart through the Alashankou port in three days, and then arrive in Hamburg, Germany and Moscow, Russia.
The train here has just been shipped. One hour later, another train full of plates, zinc ingots and other goods arrived at Zhengzhou Central Station from Central Asia. According to the staff, there are 4 return trains that day that will arrive one after another. From "heavy trains go, empty trains go" to today's "heavy trains go, heavy trains go", the more China-Europe freight trains run, the cycle is smoother and smoother.
At present, with Zhengzhou as the center, the China-Europe Express (Zhengzhou) has a domestic cargo collection radius of 1,500 kilometers, and its business network covers more than 40 countries and more than 140 regions, with more than 8,000 domestic and foreign partners.
Thanks to the logistics advantages of "delivery once shipped", more than 10 logistics suppliers and more than 20 auto parts companies have gathered around the airport area of Zhengzhou's land port-type national logistics hub. The role of hubs in driving trade, trade gathering industries, and industries feeding back to the hub is further highlighted.
