China-Europe Freight Train Service Reaches Significant Milestone

The 110,000th freight train departs Qingdao, enhancing trade connectivity between China and Europe.
On June 10, 2025, the 110,000th China-Europe freight train departed from Jiaozhou Railway Station in Qingdao, Shandong Province, representing a remarkable achievement in the service's development.

This train, which is transporting 55 containers of home appliances—valued at nearly 20 million yuan (approximately 2.78 million U.S. dollars)—is set to travel through Inner Mongolia’s Erenhot Port, the largest land port on the China-Mongolia border, before arriving in Europe within 17 days.

The event underscores the growing significance of the China-Europe freight train network in facilitating international trade.

This logistical route has been pivotal for numerous businesses looking to export goods to European markets efficiently.

The service has consistently demonstrated its capabilities in terms of speed and reliability, contributing to enhanced economic ties between China and its partners across Europe.

Customs officers were on hand to supervise the departure of this landmark train, ensuring compliance with international trade regulations.

The freight train services have witnessed an increase in operational efficiency and capacity over the years, bolstering China's position as a key player in global supply chains.

The China-Europe freight train initiative has been instrumental in supporting the Belt and Road Initiative, aimed at improving infrastructure and trade connectivity.

Over the years, the network has expanded significantly, facilitating trade in various sectors beyond home appliances, including electronics, textiles, and machinery.

This latest milestone reflects the ongoing commitment to enhancing trade links and the continued evolution of rail transport as a vital component of international logistics.
