During the Spring Festival, China Europe trains in many parts of the country operate normally. China has one belt, one road, the first one in the first year of the lunar new year, and the other countries that are loaded with goods from China to Central Asia, Western Asia and Europe. At the same time, a large number of goods are transported to China to meet the demand of the Spring Festival's consumption market in China. At present, China EU train is ushering in a favorable development opportunity.

Spring Festival never stops

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, the sound of the siren came from Ganzhou international port station. The x9238 China Europe train slowly drove out from here, full of 50 containers of air conditioners, refrigerators and daily necessities, and galloped to Tashkent, Uzbekistan This is the first China Europe train from Ganzhou international dry port in the spring of 2021. Since 2021, there have been 33 China Europe trains in Ganzhou international port, including 28 departing trains and 5 returning trains.

It can be seen from many such scenes that Hefei, Anhui Province, located in the central region, has realized the "double trains" of China Europe trains in the lunar new year, driving the "made in Anhui" and "made in Hefei" to the world; in the northeast region, during the Spring Festival, China Europe trains (all over Europe) basically have export shipping plans every day, and the shipping organization of Changchun Xinglong railway port has not stopped during the whole holiday to ensure the safety of the train In the western region, on the day before the new year's Eve, the China Europe train (Chongqing) international parcel special train started smoothly. During the Spring Festival, Chongqing's major external channels such as China Europe train (Chongqing Xinou) and Chongqing Manchuria Russia train remained unobstructed. In the eastern region, on the first day of the new year, the x8074 China Europe train with 100 TEUs of export goods started from Yiwu west station On the same day, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, also launched the first China Europe train in the year of the ox

Although it is the Spring Festival holiday, the China Europe trains in various places are basically "not closed", and some places only have a short rest for a few days, maintaining a stable and smooth operation on the whole.

China's China one belt, one road China's "no closure", reflects the heat of trade cooperation between China and the "one belt" along the way, which is conducive to the steady and smooth supply of Chinese commodities to the countries along the border, as well as the commodities rich in the Chinese mainland in the countries along the border, which are the guarantee of international production, Cui Fan, an international trade Professor, told reporters in an interview with the International Business Daily reporter in an interview with the international business and economic daily. Industry chain supply chain one of the important carriers one must stabilize and deepen one belt, one road cooperation.

Welcome new opportunities

Since its opening in 2011, the China Europe train has been developing rapidly. By the end of this year's Spring Festival, since 2021, China Europe trains have operated 1590 trains, carrying 150000 TEUs, with the operation volume and freight volume increasing by 93% and 103% respectively. At present, the number of cities running more than 100 trains in China and Europe has increased to 30, reaching 106 cities in 21 European countries, covering most of the central and Eastern European countries. From a foreign perspective, the data released by Duisburg port in Germany shows that despite the impact of the epidemic, the container handling capacity of Duisburg port will still increase by 5% in 2020, reaching 4.2 million TEUs, a new record.

Cui fan believes that at present, China EU trains are facing three major opportunities for development: first, due to the impact of the epidemic, the efficiency of traditional sea transportation customs clearance is greatly reduced, while the railway transportation customs clearance and inspection are relatively smooth; second, the sea freight rate continues to rise, and the phenomenon of "one box is difficult to obtain" and "one container is difficult to obtain" will allow more enterprises to choose China EU trains with relatively low freight rate, controllable transportation time and stable transportation capacity Third, under the epidemic situation, cross-border e-commerce and other new formats are developing rapidly. The products of these channels have the characteristics of small packages and many pieces, which are very matched with the transportation mode of China Europe trains. At the same time, the transportation cost performance of China Europe trains for some products such as machinery and equipment is also very considerable.

Zhang Zhouping, director and senior analyst of B2B and cross border e-commerce Department of ECOSOC e-commerce research center, said in an interview with international business daily that with the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce, the number of small packages is increasing, and shipping costs and customs clearance are restricted. The mode of "China Europe train + overseas warehouse" can ensure the stable delivery of goods, which is similar to the mode of cross-border e-commerce The development matches very well.

It is understood that recently, with the rapid increase of export goods, many sea and air freight have been transferred to railway transportation, and the China Europe trains in Xi'an, Yiwu and other places have also ushered in the peak of outward transportation. The hot situation has even made the China Europe trains in some places "hard to find one compartment". The "non closing" of China EU trains during the Spring Festival has played an important role in meeting the booming import and export demand.
