BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) — A China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan international multimodal freight train departed from Changsha International Railway Port Station in central China’s Hunan Province on Wednesday. It is the first full-length international train in Changsha operating under the multimodal transportation model (railway-road transport) approved by the General Administration of Customs of the People’s Republic of China.
As reported by the Zhongxinshe news agency, the departure of this train opened a new logistics corridor between Hunan Province and the countries of Central Asia, including all of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
This has created a shorter, faster and more cost-effective westward route for businesses in Hunan and the surrounding areas. In addition, the train has facilitated flexible distribution across multiple routes, expanding supplies to markets such as West Asia, South Asia, the Middle East and Southern Europe.
According to the person in charge of the platform running the train, through this new channel, products from Hunan Province can be delivered to customers in Central Asian countries in a shorter time, and the cost of transportation and insurance can be reduced by 30 percent. -0-
