Rapid freight transport growth via China-Vietnam cross-border trains

Monthly freight volumes hit record highs five times—in March, April, July, October and November.

Its list of transported goods now encompasses 262 categories, sourced from 25 provinces and cities across China, with the trade route connecting to multiple countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations region, including Vietnam, Thailand and Laos.

The Nanning branch operates three fixed weekly cross-border freight trains now that pass through the country’s border with Vietnam, ensuring a steady supply of goods to the market. Daily freight services were also introduced in July last year, along with a new route linking Guangzhou and Nanning in China and An Vien in Vietnam, media reports from Vietnam said.

The China-Vietnam cross-border freight train has significantly reduced shipping time.
