Freight train facilitates China-Russia goods trade

A freight train left Harbin International Container Terminal in China's northernmost Heilongjiang province bound for Moscow on Oct 18, packed with 55 containers housing 165 domestically-manufactured automobiles.

The shipment, the third of its kind operated by Heilongjiang Longyulian International Logistics Co this year, was worth 22.13 million yuan ($3.03 million).

This service offers a cost-efficient, convenient, and highly effective international logistics channel, carving a path for automobile businesses to export complete cars to the world.

This follows the first shipment of the month on Oct 15, which saw a variety of goods, including cold-chain products, second-hand cars, tower cranes, and finished paper, making the voyage overseas.

More than 58 percent of these goods were sourced from within Heilongjiang province, significantly bolstering its foreign trade economy.
