Regular freight services boost efficiency

Set schedule of trains between China, Europe ensures stable transport time

Five scheduled weekly freight train services between China and Europe have reduced travel time, improved efficiency and injected new momentum into trade between Asia and Europe, China State Railway Group, which oversees the services, said on Friday.

All the trains follow set schedules along the routes, allowing customers to accurately determine the transport time between cities and improve service quality.

On Wednesday and Saturday, a freight train departs from Xi'an in Northwest China's Shaanxi province to Duisburg in Germany. On Tuesday, the train leaves Duisburg and returns to Xi'an.
