First China-Europe freight train starts from Shanghai to Central Asia

The goods carried by these trains were worth 293 million yuan (around $43.5 million).

The first China-Europe freight train from Shanghai was launched in September 2021. At present, the city has nine freight cargo routes, which reach 13 cities along the Belt and Road. Moreover, Shanghai has operated 35 China-Europe cargo trains that have carried 3,438 TEUs of goods weighing 23,600 tonnes and worth 1.024 billion yuan until now.

China-Europe freight train services restarted in May due to high demand from foreign trade enterprises after they were temporarily suspended by Shanghai during the COVID-19 pandemic.
