中欧班列（中豫号）冷链业务“货”力全开 首批白俄罗斯冻牛肉抵郑

 

A "new bridge" has been built as the "driving force" to promote the growth of international trade. For the first time the Belarusian frozen beef was transported to Zhengzhou city of Central China's Henan province via the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight train on the afternoon of May 12, followed by a large number of other frozen products. The recovery of international cold chain logistics will accelerate the construction of Zhengzhou cold chain trading center in Central China, further stimulate the consumption of imported cold-chain foods and power the growth of the province's foreign trade at a faster pace.

The "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains help ensure the safe and smooth operation of international trade by upgrading the China-Europe land logistics corridor. Compared to the previous rail-sea combined mode to transport goods from Belarus to China via Russia, the direct transport mode of the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains can help greatly reduce the delivery time. Besides, by contrast with the air freight mode, it can help lower logistics costs for companies.

本次进口白俄罗斯肉类冻品通过中欧班列（中豫号）运输，相比前期通过白俄罗斯—俄罗斯—中国港口的海铁联运方式可节省大量运输时间，相比空运节省不少运输费用，降低了企业的物流成本。中欧班列（中豫号）持续畅通中欧陆上国际物流经贸通道，为推进国际贸易健康发展提供了安全顺畅的可靠保障。

 

As the "Iron Camels" running on the "Land Silk Road", the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains have made nearly 8,000 trips by May 12, 2023. Now, the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight train service has changed from a freight rail line to a national model project and formed an international logistics network featuring "multiple stations and ports", a "1+N" global logistics hub system as well as a "channel+hub+port" opening-up pattern. Apart from providing rail freight service, the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains have involved itself in international trade and achieved the sound development by "boosting trade through freight business, promoting freight business through trade and integrating freight business with trade". Different from the outdated inefficient logistics mode, the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains are more informationized, intelligent and digitalized. Now, Zhengzhou is on its way to build itself into a China-Europe freight train assembly center, which helps transform the operation of the "Zhongyu" China-Europe freight trains from "point-to-point" to "hub-to-hub" and speed up the construction of an efficient collection and distribution system featuring hub-and-spoke paradigm.
