Two JSQ freight trains operated by Gansu International Logistics Group Co., Ltd (Gansu International Logistics), left Guangzhou, South China’s Guangdong Province, for Europe via Manzhouli Port in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. This marked a new chapter for the group as it now has two routes to export commercial vehicles, via the ports of Horgos and Manzhouli, respectively.
The two trains, comprised of double-deck enclosed cage wagons, respectively carried 232 and 233 domestic commercial vehicles, increasing the transport efficiency by roughly 50 percent compared with container transport. They will reach the European market directly after the fast customs clearance at the Manzhouli Port, an advantage brought about by the China-Europe Railway Express management system and the digital port high-speed clearance platform.
The group has set up a JSQ international freight system at Dongchuan Station in Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China’s Gansu Province, sending freight trains to Central Asia via Horgos Port on a regular basis. In the fourth quarter of 2024, it secured approval for the operation of scheduled JSQ freight trains to Central Asia, and has since dispatched over 90 trains and exported 24,000 vehicles to date, becoming a logistics hub of vehicle export from Northwest China to Central Asia. The new Guangzhou-Manzhouli route now expands the group’s export route to the vehicle manufacturing cluster in South China.
