A China-Europe freight train running directly between Guangxi and Russia departed from Liuzhou in Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region on June 21, marking the start of the regular operation of the route.
The train will travel around 11,314 kilometers and arrive at Vorsino Railway Station in Moscow in 20 days, after crossing the border at Manzhouli in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region.
The new route is scheduled to operate once or twice a month.
The train is loaded with 50 40-foot containers, transporting a total of 61 pieces of engineering machinery such as loaders, land levelers, road rollers and skip steer loaders.
Xue Bing, a staff member from Guangxi Liugong Group, said that the cargo transported by the train also includes products dispatched from warehouses in East China areas such as Jiangsu province. The original plan for these cargos was to be transported to Russia via water and roads, but that was more expensive than using the China-Europe freight train.
Xue added that cargos of the company in East China will first be dispatched to Liuzhou for further export in the future.
