At 2:45 a.m. on the 5th, a China-Europe freight train X8422 loaded with machinery, cashmere, furniture and other goods departed from Hebei Shijiazhuang International Dry Port. This is the first China-Europe train with a full timetable operating in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The train adopts the operation model of "fixed point, fixed route, fixed time and fixed number of trains".
This China-Europe freight train runs once a week on a regular basis. It departs from Shijiazhuang International Dry Port every Friday. After leaving the country through Erenhot Port, it finally arrives in Warsaw, Poland. The transportation time is stable at 14 days and 3 hours.
The so-called full timetable China-Europe trains refer to trains that operate according to fixed train numbers, routes, schedules, domestic and overseas departure stations, ports, and final arrival times. The core is to improve transportation efficiency and stability and help enterprises reduce logistics costs through the operation model of "fixed points, fixed routes, fixed times, and fixed trains".
General Manager of Shijiazhuang International Land Port Liu Jinpeng: The transportation efficiency is more than 30% higher than that of ordinary trains, which helps to efficiently connect the cross-border railway high-speed transportation of the Shijiazhuang assembly center of China-Europe trains and the dry port's overseas warehouses in Europe, and enhances the attractiveness and competitiveness of Shijiazhuang International Dry Port as a new highland for inland opening up.
Since the beginning of this year, Shijiazhuang has operated more than 1,100 China-Europe freight trains, delivering more than 115,000 TEUs and a cargo weight of more than 1.4 million tons. It has become the first China-Europe freight train hub platform in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region with an annual operation volume of more than 1,000 trains.
