At 12:00 on July 9, 2025, a China-Europe freight train full of high-value-added goods such as communication equipment and auto parts set off from the Chongqing Tuanjie Village Central Station, marking that the express train in the South Channel of the China-Europe freight train officially entered the normal operation stage. This express train jointly created by Yuxinou Supply Chain Management Co., Ltd. and Turkey's Pacific Global Logistics Group will depart through the Horgos Port, cross Azerbaijan, Georgia and other countries, and eventually arrive in Turkey and other major European cities.

Innovate logistics models and build efficient transportation channels

The South Channel Express train launched this time is an important supplement to the China-Europe freight train network. According to Aska Sadik, chairman of Turkey's Pacific Global Logistics Group, the train adopts a "point-to-point" direct transportation mode, and the entire transportation time is shortened to 25-30 days, saving at least 10 days compared to traditional transportation methods. The trains implement a "five-fixed" operating mechanism (fixed points, fixed lines, fixed train numbers, fixed timing, and price), and are equipped with guarantee measures such as priority customs clearance and priority replacement to ensure the stability of transportation time.

Build an international procurement center and deepen Asia-Europe economic and trade cooperation

At the train opening ceremony, the "Intermediate Corridor International Procurement Center" project signing activity was held simultaneously. The project will build a comprehensive international procurement platform for the Asia-Europe market in Chongqing, and promote the deep integration of industrial chains and supply chains of countries along the route by establishing a corporate cooperation network and a normalized dialogue mechanism. After the center is completed, it is expected to attract more than 200 multinational companies to settle in, and the annual trade volume is expected to exceed US$5 billion.

Strategic significance and market impact

The normalized operation of the express train in the South Channel has multiple strategic values: first, it enriches the transportation network of China-Europe freight trains and provides new logistics options for Eurasian and European trade; second, the channel avoids congested nodes of traditional routes and improves transportation reliability; second, the implementation of the project will drive the development of outward-oriented economy in Chongqing and surrounding areas, and strengthen its position as an inland open highland.

Future development plan

Yuxinou Company stated that it plans to realize the frequency of two express trains per week by the end of 2025, and gradually increase to 3-5 trains per week by 2026. At the same time, we will promote the establishment of a "one-stop" multimodal transport service system, integrate various transportation modes such as railways, highways, and sea transportation, and provide more convenient and efficient logistics solutions for Asian and European customers.

Industry experts pointed out that the normal operation of the China-Europe Express South Channel not only optimizes the international logistics system, but also promotes economic and trade exchanges among countries along the Belt and Road, injecting new impetus into the construction of an open world economy. With the construction of the "Intermediate Corridor International Procurement Center", Chongqing is expected to become an important hub city connecting the Asian and European markets.(This article is from the official website of Seetao www.seetao.com.
