The first China Europe train.

Quanzhou is an important manufacturing town along the southeast coast with close foreign economic and trade ties. It is the main source of goods in Fujian Province. Therefore, Quanzhou enterprises also have a strong demand for transportation capacity. The goods on this train are Quanzhou local goods, mainly sanitary products, bags, shoes and clothing, handicrafts and other important light industrial export products of Quanzhou. The goods were inspected and released at Jinjiang land port, loaded with 50 containers, weighing 445.7 tons and worth more than 10 million yuan. The whole journey of the train is expected to take 20 days. Compared with the original sea transportation mode, the transportation time can be saved by 25 days.

"Not only save time, but also the freight is much cheaper, which greatly reduces the burden of our enterprises." Qiu Zhiqiang, supply chain director of meijiashuang China Co., Ltd., told reporters. He told reporters that the company's products were mainly exported to Europe, South America and Southeast Asia. In the past, the export of products basically depended on shipping. In recent one or two years, shipping was not only difficult to find one container, but also faced the pressure of rising freight. Quanzhou has opened the China Europe train, with complementary advantages in land and sea transportation. Import and export enterprises can take the train at the "door" and enjoy real convenience and benefits.

The reporter also learned that in order to ensure the smooth operation of the China Europe train, the vehicle affairs, freight, dispatching and other departments of China Railway Nanchang Bureau Group Co., Ltd. cooperate to open a green transportation channel for enterprises and complete a series of formalities such as customs declaration, inspection, release, transportation and quarantine in the freight yard.
