China Railway Express – the trains between China and Europe and all the other countries along the route of “One Belt, One Road” according to the fixed trainschedules and numbers.
This train route was mainly developed by China, gathering lots of railway agents, logistics agents and owners of cargo together from countries in Asia and Europe. It is the longest international railway transportation route in the world for now.
In 2018, in total, 6300 trains were ran which increased 72% year-on-year. With 56 domestic cities, it can reach 49 cities in 15 European countries which is better progress than previous year. However there were some problems, for example, empty containers were limited, and also the charges of each country is different, some of it pretty high. Customs clearance is also a big problem in some cases.
Here are some suggestions for China Railway Express to improve the service:
1. Promptly study and solve existing problems.
2. Improving Transport Documents.
3. Continue to attract cargo flows from neighbouring countries or regions to utilize Sino-European liner transport.
4. To reduce the logistics cost of China and Europe, start specific business training, and continue to improve and expand the “One Belt, One Road” logistics corridor.
Since the operations of each part is continuously improving, we believe that there are more and more chances to develop more in the near future whether it be in economy or politics, China Railway Express is always a solid foundationfor these developments!
