The X8186 China Europe Express, loaded with 100 containers of goods, departs from Zengcheng. As shown by the correspondent, on November 2, with a loud whistle, the X8186 China Europe Express, which was loaded with 100 containers of goods, slowly drove out of Zengcheng West Logistics Park of Guangzhou Railway Group, and will go to Europe via Horgos Port. This is the 600th China Europe train in the Greater Bay Area of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao this year, with a year-on-year growth of 276 trains, or 85%. With the continuous deepening of the high-quality construction of the "the Belt and Road" in China, the China Europe Express in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has entered a stage of standardized and large-scale development, with the number and quality of operations constantly improving and running a beautiful upward curve. Since this year, the China Europe Express in the Greater Bay Area has delivered 356800 tons of industrial chain supply chain materials. The fourth quarter is also the peak shipping season. The number of banks opened in Guangzhou, Dongguan and Shenzhen only increased by 25% year-on-year in October. From 2016 to 2021, the number of China Europe trains in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area has increased year by year, from 45 trains to 385 trains, an increase of more than 8 times in five years. At present, regional linkage has been formed among several China Europe train stations in Guangdong, such as Dalang, Zengcheng West and International Port, and the China Europe train cargo distribution logistics center in South China has begun to take shape. This year, Heshan Jiangmen North Railway Station and Guangzhou Nansha Port Station also joined the "army" of China Europe Express. Ning Zan, deputy director of Guangzhou Freight Center, told the reporter that due to multiple factors, inflation in Europe continued this year, and production costs rose sharply. "Made in China" products with good quality and low price became the first choice for foreign consumers. At the same time, in the case of the blocking of maritime transport on the Eurasian continent, the China EU train has generally maintained a safe and stable operation, showing a remarkable ability to resist risks, effectively ensuring the smooth transport of production and living materials in countries along the route, which is one of the important reasons for the continuous growth of the number of China EU trains in the Greater Bay Area this year. Under the continuous influence of the global epidemic, the online shopping demand of foreign people continues to increase, and foreign trade enterprises are facing new opportunities and challenges. Li Guangtao, the business director of the distribution department of Dongguan Midea Electric Appliance Co., Ltd., said that Guangzhou Railway Group accurately matched the demand of customers for high-quality shipment of high-end household appliances, and launched a "customized" special train for them, effectively easing the plight of local foreign trade enterprises under the impact of the epidemic. "We will continue to serve the construction of the 'the Belt and Road', focus on the development of South Asia (Laos) and Central Asia trains, and maintain the steady growth of China Europe trains," said the relevant person in charge of the freight department of Guangzhou Railway Group.
