Two trains carrying containers loaded with new energy vehicles (NEVs) departed from Xi'an and Zhengzhou on July 18 and 20, respectively, then the NEVs were shipped to Europe after they arrived at Qingdao Port in Shandong province.

By making full use of its route resources and customized rail-water intermodal logistics solutions, Qingdao Port has become a new channel for Shandong and its surrounding enterprises to transport products to European countries, offering low-cost and efficient maritime solutions to facilitate trade between China and Europe.

Sea-rail intermodal transport on the China-Russia Express can give full play to the advantages of rail and sea in the demonstration area, further improve its sea-rail intermodal transport channels and smooth the major international logistical channel of westward transportation from Qingdao to Europe.
