On July 1, 2026, the X8423 train, loaded with 110 standard containers, departed from Fangshan Beijing International Land Port, carrying goods such as car parts, furniture, household appliances, and mechanical equipment. After exiting through Erenhot Port, it will directly reach Moscow, Russia.

This is the first scheduled China Europe freight train from Beijing, combined with the scheduled Central Asia freight train that was launched in April this year. Beijing has officially formed a dual track scheduled operation pattern of China Europe and Central Asia, providing a stable land logistics backbone channel for the capital's foreign trade import and export.

Fixed schedule significantly reduces the uncertainty of enterprise performance

The scheduled train adopts a fixed time, fixed route, and fixed train number operation mode. The newly opened China Europe scheduled train will maintain regular operation every Thursday. The railway department has specially launched a five priority guarantee mechanism, tilting the transportation capacity throughout the entire process from empty car allocation, loading organization to hanging and releasing, and having business backbones monitor key operations such as loading and reinforcement throughout the process to build a strong safety defense line.

Previously, goods sent by Beijing's foreign trade enterprises to Asia and Europe often had to wait for the entire train to be assembled before they could be shipped, and the schedule fluctuated greatly, making it difficult to accurately lock in the delivery time. The stable schedule now allows enterprises to easily arrange production plans and directly lock in delivery cycles when signing long-term orders with overseas customers, greatly reducing the uncertainty of cross-border performance.

Two way channel connecting industry and consumption for two-way circulation

After the implementation of the dual line map scheduled train, Beijing Zhizao's industrial products can steadily go global and deeply cultivate the Asia Europe terminal market. Many enterprises have already begun planning to expand their production capacity in Beijing. At the same time, high-quality consumer goods from various countries in Europe and Asia can also quickly arrive in Beijing by taking the return train. Recently, the Silk Road Express Consumer Goods Store in Fangshan has started to list imported goods transported back by the train, directly enriching the local international consumer supply in Beijing.

The value of channels is not only limited to transporting goods, but is gradually transforming into trade and industrial advantages. In the future, Beijing International Land Port will also promote the upgrading of multimodal transportation supporting facilities, cultivate new formats such as cross-border logistics and bonded supply chain, further unleash the empowering effect of the dual track channel, and provide continuous support for Beijing to build an international consumption center city and promote high-level opening up to the outside world.Editor/Cheng Liting
