A game-changing container shipping service in the Black Sea has turbocharged the China-Europe freight rail network, slashing transit times and supercharging trade efficiency for goods departing from Xi’an 🇨🇳. The first train using this upgraded route—loaded with machinery parts bound for Germany—left Xi’an International Port Station this week, marking a logistics revolution.
'This dedicated service cuts waiting times like never before,' said Yuan Xiaojun, a key logistics executive. No more crowded public transport for cargo! Containers now zip through Georgia’s Poti Port 3x faster, with seamless transfers to EU-bound trains 🚄💨.
The 11,300-km journey crosses countries and regions including Kazakhstan and Hungary, reaching Germany by early September. With nearly 3,000 trains handled this year (up 28.6%!), Xi’an solidifies its role as Asia’s freight powerhouse 📈.
China State Railway Group reports cargo volume hit 3.27 million tonnes since January—proof that speed + strategy = global trade wins 🌐✨.
