In May 2024, the performance of China-Europe freight trains was particularly bright, with statistics showing that a total of 1,724 trains were operated throughout the month, achieving a significant increase of 14% compared to the same period last year. In terms of cargo delivery, it reached an astonishing 186,000 TEU, an increase of 13% year-on-year, which not only broke the historical record, but also once again proved the important position of China-Europe freight trains in global trade.

Since 2024, China-Europe freight trains have made remarkable progress in all aspects. In order to better serve China-Europe trade, the China-Europe Express has actively opened up new channels, which not only shorten the time of cargo transportation, but also increase the flexibility of transportation. At the same time, the optimization of customs clearance mode has greatly improved the efficiency of cargo clearance and reduced unnecessary waiting time. In addition, the China-Europe railway has also made full efforts to improve the quality of the operation, from the running status of the train to the quality of service, and strive to do the best, providing a stable and efficient transport channel for China-Europe trade.

It is worth mentioning that the China-Europe freight train has also shown strong resilience and flexibility in responding to the challenges of the global epidemic. At a time when the global supply chain has been hit, China-Europe freight trains, with their unique modes of transport and efficient services, have provided solid support for China-Eu trade. It is foreseeable that in the coming days, the China-Europe railway will continue to play an important role in promoting the sustainable development of Sino-European trade. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
