The siren sounds, and the land and sea are connected. Chongqing cars set sail to explore ASEAN

On May 9, 2026, in the Jiangjin area of Chongqing Hub Port Industrial Park, a western land sea new channel train loaded with KD parts of Changan Q5 model slowly departed and headed to Beibu Gulf Port in Guangxi for sea transportation directly to Thailand. The departure of this train is a vivid reflection of Chongqing's efforts to build an inland open comprehensive hub and help Chongqing's manufacturing industry expand globally.

Since its construction began in 2024, Chongqing Hub Port Industrial Park has continuously improved its water, rail, and intermodal transportation system, completed the renovation and expansion of the Xiaonanya Railway Logistics Center and Luohuang Port, linked 11 highways, and achieved seamless connection between water, rail, and public transportation. Relying on the China Europe freight train and the Western Land Sea New Corridor rail sea intermodal network, Chongqing trains can directly reach Europe and Southeast Asia, solving the pain points of traditional sea transportation being long, slow, and expensive.

The comprehensive multimodal transportation system in the park enables us to efficiently connect with the Rayong factory in Thailand, serving as a golden gateway to the Southeast Asian market. Chen Cheng, Secretary of the Party Branch and General Manager of Chang'an Minsheng Logistics Packaging Division, said. Data shows that in the first four months of this year, 4800 sets of Changan Automobile KD parts were exported from Jiangjin to Thailand, with a trade volume exceeding 350 million yuan. Yuan Li, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Jiangjin Comprehensive Bonded Zone, introduced that the total number of Jiangjin trains operated on the Western Land Sea New Corridor has exceeded 3300, with a cargo value of over 21 billion yuan and a total foreign trade cargo value of over 4.2 billion yuan, achieving a leap from a transportation node to an open frontier.

Logistics level rises again, industrial opening adds momentum

The upgrading of the logistics system has accumulated strong momentum for regional opening up. In Qijiang, National Energy Group Chongqing Railway Transport Co., Ltd. was awarded the national 3A level logistics enterprise, achieving a breakthrough of zero national A-level logistics enterprises in the local area.

As a backbone logistics enterprise of state-owned enterprises, the company has a 13.375 kilometer railway dedicated line in Chongqing, focusing on the transportation of bulk goods. We will create a first-class regional freight channel to provide green and efficient logistics support for the Fuhuan cluster and surrounding industries, and help Qijiang Manufacturing expand into a broad market. Wang Jipeng, member of the company's Party branch and deputy general manager, stated. From dedicated railways to logistics bases, Qijiang is improving its logistics network, connecting the last mile of industries going global, and injecting hard core support into the opening up of inland industries.

On the front line of foreign trade, rushing orders and unleashing open vitality across the board

Logistics connectivity, industrial prosperity, and thriving foreign trade. The perfect logistics system and open services are continuously activating the spring water of Chongqing's foreign trade. In Yunyang, the machines in the foreign trade workshop roar and orders are full, creating a busy scene.

In the workshop of Yunyang County Lianyu Electronics Co., Ltd., workers rushed to produce data cables, car chargers and other products, all of which were sold to the US market. The export value exceeded 30 million yuan in the first quarter. The orders from local toy and clothing companies have been scheduled until August, and their products are selling well in the European market.
