Since its first departure in 2011, the China-Europe Railway Express has been continuously accelerating, paving a "golden corridor" of international rail freight transport brimming with business opportunities.

The China-Europe Railway Express recently reached a new milestone, with cumulative departures exceeding 90,000. Since its first departure in 2011, the China-Europe Railway Express has been continuously accelerating, transporting over 8.7 million TEUs of goods worth more than US$380 billion, reaching 223 cities in 25 European countries, and paving a "golden corridor" of international rail freight transport brimming with business opportunities.

The deepening and solid progress of Belt and Road cooperation and the increasingly close economic and trade exchanges between China and the world are the fundamental driving forces behind the China-Europe Railway Express's continuous acceleration. For more than a decade, China has actively promoted Belt and Road cooperation and continuously expanded opening-up, activating enormous international trade demand, while China-Europe trade has also achieved steady growth. Large quantities of high-quality Chinese products reach Europe via the China-Europe Railway Express, enriching the choices of European consumers, improving local people's quality of life, and opening a new trade channel for European products to enter the Chinese market. Wherever the China-Europe Railway Express goes, it also powerfully drives the development of logistics, trade centers, and industrial parks in various countries, creating numerous job opportunities for local people.

The China-Europe Railway Express's continuous acceleration is also due to its unique advantages of speed and efficiency, favorable prices, and high stability. The transport time of the China-Europe Railway Express is about one-third that of sea freight, and the transport cost is only one-eighth to one-sixth that of air freight, making it the preferred mode of cargo transport for many traders thanks to its high cost-effectiveness. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when global air, road, and sea transport were comprehensively affected, the China-Europe Railway Express played an important role in ensuring smooth logistics and stable supplies between China and Europe and along the route countries, becoming an important support for the international supply chain and further making the international community aware of its unique advantages.

The China-Europe Railway Express's continuous acceleration is also widely recognized by all parties because of its continuously improving operational quality. For more than a decade, the China-Europe Railway Express has innovated transport organization models, closely aligned with market demand, implemented flexible pricing strategies, vigorously operated customized trains, and provided customers with high-quality international logistics services. In addition, the China-Europe Railway Express has actively promoted the railway rapid customs clearance business model, significantly improving customs clearance efficiency and facilitation levels. The China-Europe Railway Express customer service center provides global customers with basic services such as intermodal document processing, cargo tracking, and professional customer service, as well as distinctive value-added services such as customs declaration agency, integrated logistics, and end-to-end insurance, meeting customers' various needs.

Connecting points into lines and weaving lines into a network, the China-Europe Railway Express, rushing ceaselessly day and night, carries various commodities and creates development opportunities. As Belt and Road cooperation continues to advance, China's ties with the world will become closer, trade demand will continue to expand, and the China-Europe Railway Express will run ever faster, playing an even more important role in the global logistics system.
