At the special press conference of the National Development and Reform Commission held today, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that China-Europe trains have reached 236 cities in 26 European countries.
According to reports, the types of goods transported by China-Europe trains have covered 53 categories and more than 50,000 varieties, and the proportion of the value of goods transported in the China-Europe goods trade volume has increased year by year.In June this year, Europe was swept by a record-breaking heat wave, with the highest temperature reaching over 40 degrees Celsius. The demand for air conditioners and refrigeration exploded. Chinese air conditioners were in short supply locally. Air conditioner manufacturers switched the replenishment channel from sea freight to China-Europe freight trains. The transportation cycle was compressed from 40 days to about 15 days, establishing a "fast lane" for China-Europe trade.At present, China-Europe freight trains have laid out 96 operating routes, forming a diversified overseas channel pattern in the north, central and south, reaching 236 cities in 26 European countries, building a smooth, efficient, multi-directional extension, and interconnected sea and land channel network.
