On the morning of November 6, 2026, the gantry crane at Liuzhou Railway Port slowly moved and loaded 12 40 foot containers onto the train one by one. The box is filled with car parts, and the train will sail to Qinzhou Port, where it will be loaded onto an ocean going cargo ship and sent to India. This is the first time that Guangxi has launched a western land sea new channel railway sea intermodal special train to South Asia, and it is also a new path for Liuzhou's automobile parts exports.

The train directly connects to Qinzhou Port

This batch of goods departed from Liuzhou Railway Port, transported by railway to Qinzhou Port East Station, and then transshipped by sea through the Beibu Gulf Port Group. Liuzhou is an important node city of the Western Land Sea New Corridor, as well as a national automobile parts production base and automobile and parts export base. In the past, the export of automotive spare parts was mostly carried out in a scattered and segmented manner by transporting them to the Pearl River Delta region for consolidation and export, which involved multiple links and took a long time. This time, the intermodal transportation mode of using trains and overtime wheels is adopted, and the connection between railway and port operations is closer. The entire transportation time is saved by about 3 days compared to before, and the comprehensive cost of cross-border logistics has been reduced.

The first South Asian airline to operate

This is the first railway sea intermodal special train from Guangxi to South Asia, with the destination being India. For automotive companies in Guangxi, the South Asian market has gained a relatively stable logistics channel. China Railway Nanning Group Co., Ltd. has established a dedicated service team for the operation of special trains, which combines the loading characteristics of automotive spare parts to coordinate the packing plan, transportation capacity allocation, and loading organization. The railway department operates weekly passenger car spare parts trains, achieving seamless connection between trains and liners, making the flow of goods between Liuzhou and Qinzhou ports smoother.

Car parts go abroad quickly

As of November 5, 2026, China Railway Nanning Group Co., Ltd. has sent over 294000 commercial vehicles in 2026, a year-on-year increase of 8%. Next, the railway department will continue to rely on the transportation advantages of the Western Land Sea New Channel, improve the efficiency of train operations, enrich logistics general contracting, full process agency and other service products, expand the variety of multimodal transport goods, and provide more efficient transportation services for Guangxi's manufacturing to go global. From Liuzhou Railway Port to Qinzhou Port, from the Beibu Gulf to the Indian Ocean, this new channel is connecting automotive parts in the southwestern hinterland with the South Asian market.Editor/Gao Xue
