China News Service, Guangzhou, November 3 (Guo Junming, Qi Qing Li Lei) The reporter learned from China Railway Guangzhou Bureau Group Co., Ltd. 15051 vehicles were sent to transport 156,900 tons of epidemic prevention, production and living materials, a year-on-year increase of 40.3%.
Since the beginning of this year, the number of China-Europe express trains in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has exceeded the total number of 262 trains in the whole year of last year, a year-on-year increase of 77.6%.
The Guangzhou Railway Group predicts that the number of China-Europe Express trains in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will reach at least 350 trains this year, and it is expected to create a new record of one train per day throughout the year.
It is reported that since the opening of the China-Europe train in 2013, the three cities of Dongguan, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen have become the "central stations" of the China-Europe train in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Currently, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area China-Europe train has reached 17 directions. , There are more than 700 kinds of supply categories.
This pan-European transportation corridor has extended to many countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" route, and runs through Southeast Asia in the form of multimodal transportation.
Russia, Germany, Ukraine, Hungary, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan...more and more countries have joined the "circle of friends" of the China-Europe Express in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
"Guangdong is a'world factory' with a solid supply of goods. The cities where the European Express trains are located are in the Pearl River Delta region where foreign trade is developed. This is an important reason for the continuous increase in export demand for'Guangdong' in recent years." Guangzhou Railway Group Guangzhou Freight Song Haitao, director of the center, told reporters.
At present, the global epidemic prevention and control situation is still severe, overseas people's willingness to shop online has increased significantly, and the demand for daily consumer goods and home appliances continues to rise.
However, under the influence of the epidemic, air and sea transportation are generally hindered, and the contradiction between strong demand for cross-border e-commerce products and insufficient international transportation capacity has become increasingly prominent.
Under this circumstance, the advantages of China-Europe Express Express, such as safety and convenience, high transportation efficiency, and small impact from the epidemic, have become more and more obvious.
"The end of the year is the peak period for China-Europe freight trains. At the same time, the export demand for Christmas-related goods is superimposed. Shippers are rushing to ship the orders." said Wu Jianqiang, freight supervisor of Dalang Station, Guangzhou Freight Center of Guangzhou Railway Group.
