CRE Chang'an train (Xi'an-Moscow) has been put into regular operation!

China Railway Express (CRE) Chang'an international freight train (Xi'an-Moscow) for vehicle export has been put into operation on October 31, 2020. Since its first shipment, a total of 7 trains carrying 1,023 commercial vehicles have been dispatched. Starting from Xi'an International Port, the train exits the country via Erenhot Port and finally arrives at the Vorottensk Station in Moscow after passing by Mongolia, covering a distance of about 8,296 kilometers and taking 16 days.

With a frequency of two trains per month, the train ships finished vehicles far to the Vorottensk Station in Moscow, which is a special station for operations of vehicles, such as unloading, warehousing, customs clearance, and others. Thanks to its convenience and good storage conditions, all vehicles exported to Russia can be properly distributed countrywide from here.

Xi'an International Inland Port Multimodal Transportation Co., Ltd. (ITL) now has the largest multistorey parking garage across all inland ports — a total of five stories with accommodation of 2,350 vehicles enough for one train's loading operation every day. More than that, ITL also provides professional and whole-process logistics services for vehicle business by using its self-owned containers and professional vehicle transportation supports, making the whole transportation process a smooth and successful one.

It is reported that since January 2021, to meet customer demand, ITL has launched a large number of its self-owned containers from Xi’an Port into the CRE market. Now, these blue containers are crisscrossing in all corners of the world from day to night, easing efficiently the market tension of the container shortage.

The successful operation of this line to Moscow has further improved the layout of the railway commercial vehicle transportation route of Xi'an Port through the Eurasian Land Bridge.

ITL will continue to improve and upgrade its transport lines and work toward the building of China Railway Express (Xi'an) Collaboration Center to give a full play of Xi'an's advantages in location, timing, and cost based on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), thus to contribute to the building of a new development paradigm with domestic circulation as the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforcing each other!
