The railway tracks extend across the land of Ganpo, and a whistle cuts through the morning mist - on an ordinary day in August 2026, a train loaded with Jiangling SUVs slowly departs from Nanchang International Land Port, heading towards Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Every car on this train will appear in the European terminal exhibition hall in three weeks.

Just a month ago, this land port had just crossed a milestone: as of July 31st, the cumulative operation of rail sea intermodal trains exceeded 10000, with a total of 10061 trains. Nowadays, numbers continue to jump and stories are still being written.

After ten thousand trains, the channel will be woven again

Entering August, the busyness of Nanchang International Land Port has not diminished at all. As of August 13, 2026, a total of 10563 foreign trade trains have been operated, an increase of nearly 500 trains from the end of July; The number of heavy containers arriving and departing has risen to 695800, with a stable value of 18.085 billion US dollars. This inland port, which is not along the border or by the sea, has established 25 international logistics channels through 12 rail sea intermodal lines and 13 China Europe (Asia) train lines, delivering goods to 134 countries and regions around the world. Trains departing from the five major sea ports of Ningbo, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen depart every day, seamlessly connecting the railway and the sea port. As a result, Central Manufacturing has gained an invisible artery that connects directly to the world.

Rolling wheels, industry takes advantage of the trend

Behind the numbers lies the scorching industrial pulse. In the first eight months of this year (as of August 13th), the export of commercial vehicles from Nanchang International Land Port reached 82100 units/set, a year-on-year increase of 43.17% - contributing considerable growth in July and early August alone. Jiangling Motors firmly holds the main position with an absolute share of 80600 units/set, and almost every train heading overseas carries the metallic luster made in Jiangxi. Brands such as BYD, Chery, Jetour, and Jianghuai have also taken advantage of this opportunity to quickly convert the parts and vehicle production capacity of Xiaolan Economic and Technological Development Zone into overseas orders. Besides cars, mechanical and electrical equipment is also packed in containers, and the export categories are becoming increasingly diverse.

When ten thousand trains become a thing of the past, this inland port is no longer just a transit channel, but a fist for the central manufacturing industry to extend to the world. The railway tracks keep running, the flow of goods continues, and each train is shortening the distance between inland and coastal areas, spreading the sound of Jiangxi's manufacturing even further. The story is far from over - the August train is still moving forward, with the next ten thousand trains on the way.Editor/Cheng Liting
