"The opening of the Zhengzhou International Land Port and the official opening of the dedicated railway will form an efficient industrial linkage with Zhengzhou BYD, which is of great significance for improving the logistics infrastructure around Zhengzhou, enhancing the operational efficiency of BYD's automobile logistics, and jointly building a high-quality, efficient, and low-cost supply chain system to promote the gathering of automotive logistics elements and domestic and foreign trade." Qu Mingliang, General Manager of BYD Henan said so.

“郑州国际陆港启用暨专用铁路正式通车，将与郑州比亚迪形成高效产业联动，对完善比亚迪郑州周边物流基础设施，提升比亚迪汽车物流运行效率，共同打造高质量、高效率、低成本的供应链体系，促进商品汽车物流要素聚集和内外贸业务具有重要意义。” 比亚迪河南公司总经理屈明亮说。

Zhengzhou International Land Port is located in the southeastern part of Zhengzhou Airport New Area, with a total planned area of 50 square kilometers. It is a key project of Henan to serve the high-quality construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, implement the "Advantage Reinvention Strategy", and promote the transformation of transportation location advantages into hub economic advantages. According to the layout of "one port and seven zones," it is subdivided into 26 functional blocks: "one port" refers to the Zhengzhou International Land Port; while "seven zones" refers to the core of the East Station, creating an international freight train distribution center area; the core of the West Station, creating a new energy vehicle logistics service area; and expanding the layout around the "two stations" to include bulk commodity supply chains, expanding bonded functions, trade support, strategic reserves for water and port cooperation, and strategic reserves for emerging logistics areas.

郑州国际陆港位于郑州航空港东南部，总规划面积50平方公里，是我省服务高质量共建“一带一路”、实施“优势再造战略”、推动交通区位优势向枢纽经济优势转变的重点项目。其按照“一港七区”布局，细分为26个功能板块：“一港”即郑州国际陆港；“七区”即以东站为核心，打造国际班列集散中心区；以西站为核心，打造新能源汽车物流服务区；围绕“两站”，拓展布局大宗物资供应链、保税功能拓展、商贸配套、水港协作战略预留、新兴物流战略预留区等五大功能区。

The core functional area of the Zhengzhou International Land Port has a total investment of 17.86 billion yuan, including the west operation area, east operation area, and dedicated railway.

郑州国际陆港核心功能区总投资178.6亿元，包括西作业区、东作业区和专用铁路。

As the only external railway passage of the Zhengzhou International Land Port, the first phase of the dedicated railway from the Zhengzhou Xinzheng Station to the Zhengzhou International Land Port, with a total length of 23.92 kilometers, is a guarantee project to achieve the goal of "ten thousand trains, tens of millions of tons." It was completed and opened to traffic in just 13 months and achieved "operation upon opening," opening up the external communication channel for the Zhengzhou International Land Port and becoming a new strategic fulcrum for our province to enhance its level of opening to the outside world. This holds significant importance for improving the modern comprehensive three-dimensional transportation system, enhancing hub capabilities, and accelerating the construction of a logistics-strong and open-strong province.

作为郑州国际陆港唯一对外铁路通道，专用铁路一期由京广铁路新郑站至郑州国际陆港，全长23.92公里，是实现“万列、千万吨”目标的保障性工程，仅用13个月时间建成通车并实现“通车即运营”，打通了郑州国际陆港对外联络的通道，将成为我省提升对外开放能级新的战略支点，对完善现代综合立体交通体系，提升枢纽能级，加快物流强省和开放强省建设具有重要意义。

The west operation area is adjacent to the BYD Zhengzhou production base, with a planned total investment of 3.1 billion yuan and covering an area of 1,302 mu. It is positioned as a new energy vehicle supply chain service center, mainly serving the warehousing needs of upstream and downstream parts for core enterprises in the new energy vehicle industry represented by BYD.
