On the morning of August 11, 2026, at the entrance of the Dazu Science and Technology Industrial Park in Chongqing, workers had just secured the last industrial robot into a freight car when a truck with a customs seal was smoothly driven out of the factory area. The destination of this trip is not a domestic factory, but the Port of Linchaban in Thailand, which is over 3000 kilometers away. This is also the first time that a local intelligent manufacturing enterprise in Chongqing has sent its independently produced industrial robots to the Southeast Asian market through the land sea new channel.

The first overseas shipment opens up a new path for Southeast Asia

The total weight of the industrial robots transported in this batch is 7 tons, with a value of 2 million yuan, which will be directly used for the intelligent upgrading and transformation of local manufacturing production lines in Thailand. The goods depart from Dazu Industrial Park and are directly connected to Chongqing Yuzui Railway Station via a short distance road, seamlessly connecting with the land sea new channel rail sea intermodal train. The entire journey only takes about 10 days to reach Linchaban Port in Thailand, which reduces the overall transportation time by nearly one-third compared to the traditional river sea intermodal mode.

To ensure the smooth landing of this enterprise's first foreign trade order, the Land Sea New Channel Operation Chongqing Co., Ltd. has customized a full chain logistics plan for the enterprise in advance. From cabin reservation, customs clearance coordination to port connection follow-up, relying on the stable weekly schedule advantage of the train, it has completely solved the logistics connection pain points of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises going abroad for the first time.

Channel empowerment activates new momentum in local foreign trade

Previously, Chongqing's intelligent manufacturing products relied heavily on ports along the eastern coast for transshipment, resulting in long transportation cycles and high uncertainty in intermediate links. The smooth shipment of industrial robots marks the formation of a mature logistics service system suitable for high value-added electromechanical products in the land sea new channel, which has built an efficient channel for local manufacturing enterprises in Chongqing to deeply integrate into the Southeast Asian industrial chain supply chain.

In the future, Chongqing Co., Ltd. will continue to promote the service model of "one zone, one policy, one enterprise, one policy" for the operation of the new land sea channel. We will customize exclusive overseas plans for different districts and counties' characteristic industries, allowing more Chongqing made high value-added products to directly reach the RCEP regional market through this southbound channel, and continuously inject new foreign trade growth momentum into Chongqing's construction of an inland open comprehensive hub.

The smoke and dust from the truck leaving the industrial park have not yet dissipated. These industrial robots with Chongqing Intelligent Manufacturing logo have already started their southbound journey on the trains of the Land Sea New Channel. More and more manufacturing enterprises rooted in Chongqing are following this stable and smooth open channel to deliver their independently developed products to a broader international market.Editor/Cheng Liting
