CCTV News: China-Europe freight trains are known as the "steel camel fleet". At Xi'an International Port Station, China-Europe freight trains take cargo to Central Asia and Europe every day, and on the return journey, they bring back the goods from countries along the route. During the operation of the China-Europe freight train, staff asked for consultation and pulse, seized time and cleared bottlenecks, allowing this "steel camel fleet" to "accelerate" and injected new impetus into foreign trade.

At 0:00 on January 1, 2025, at Xi'an International Port Station, the first China-Europe freight train in the New Year set sail, heading westward to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan. The whole journey is 4667 kilometers and lasts about 5 days.

It is understood that this China-Europe freight train has 50 containers, and the goods carried are white appliances, textiles and chemicals. In addition to these products, new energy vehicles will also be exported abroad through China-Europe freight trains. What is the reason why merchants favor China-Europe freight trains so much? Let's get in the car with the reporter to find out.

General freight trains are limited to 90 kilometers (per hour), express passenger trains are limited to 140 kilometers (per hour), and China-Europe trains are limited to 120 kilometers (per hour). Faced with slow trucks, China-Europe freight trains must surpass them; facing fast buses, China-Europe freight trains need to avoid them, so China-Europe freight trains must "take advantage of time" to "snap off" and how can they run out of "acceleration"?

Drivers of China-Europe freight trains would rather let their cars wait for goods than to wait for cars. This is one of the reasons why China-Europe freight trains operate efficiently and are highly favored. In addition to drivers having to "run", the China-Europe Express also makes the data "run". On the China-Europe Express reservation platform, customers only need to submit information, and domestic and foreign railways and customs can handle related services online. Let the data "run", but more than this one, data you can't imagine is "running".

The latest online intelligent station comprehensive service management system uses vehicle number recognition and face recognition technology to link it with the service platform to achieve rapid release of vehicles and personnel.

The efficient operation of China-Europe freight trains brings more possibilities to international cooperation. The Xi'an Wharf in Kazakhstan came into being. Relying on the China-Europe freight train, it promotes the rapid distribution and distribution of Kazakhstan goods imported and exported in Xi'an, forming a Kazakhstan trade and logistics distribution center in China.

The Xi'an Terminal in Kazakhstan has now become a new efficient logistics channel for China and Kazakhstan, and more and more goods to Central Asia choose to cooperate with the Xi'an Terminal in Kazakhstan.

Li Xiang, deputy general manager of Xi'an Pufete International Logistics Co., Ltd., said: "Just from the perspective of overseas installation replacement, it only takes three hours from the previous time-limited two to three days to the current time-limited replacement, which provides great help to our shipping and the time-limited requirements of our customers."

The efficient operation of the China-Europe freight train has enhanced Shaanxi's important hub position in the "Belt and Road" initiative, and has also provided convenience for trade between China and countries along the "Belt and Road", improving timeliness and transportation safety. This allows more commodities to be circulated quickly to various countries and regions, promoting economic prosperity and development.
