In 2022, the first batch of China-Europe trains with a full timetable for the Chinese section, broad gauge section, and European section were successfully launched. Since then, after two expansions, the number of trains has increased to more than 800 trains per year. Compared with ordinary China-Europe trains running on the same route, the running time of China-Europe trains that implement a full timetable is reduced by more than 30% on average, and is generally welcomed by the international logistics market.
