NANCHANG, Feb. 22 (Xinhua) -- No.X8218 China-Europe freight train, loaded with 50 containers of goods, departed from Nanchang to Moscow on Feb. 19. Meanwhile, the Moscow-Nanchang China-Europe freight train loaded with 41 containers arrived at Xiangtang International land Port in Nanchang, marking the first two-way China-Europe freight train in Jiangxi this year.
It is learned that total value of the pair of two-way China-Europe freight trains reached about 3.95 million U.S. dollars. Through methods of regional distribution and group shipment, it only takes 30 days to complete the trip, which greatly reduces the time cost compared with one-way round-trip transportation.
Starting from March 19, 2019, the two-way China-Europe trains from Nanchang to Moscow have continuously enriched cargo structure, with more than 300 trains successfully operated. The shipped products varied from daily necessities such as clothing to subway infrastructure equipment, automobile parts and other high value-added products.
