At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on March 13, with a crisp whistle sounded, the heavy machinery China-Europe train carrying 49 containers departed from Nanning International Railway Port towards Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan. This is the first China-Europe train from Nanning to Kazakhstan.
The 11 tower cranes loaded on the train are worth nearly 10 million yuan and are produced by Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Previously, the company's construction machinery was mainly shipped to Kazakhstan by road, which took about one and a half months. Now it is shipped from Nanning International Railway Port via China-Europe Express, which saves more than 30 days compared to the past and avoids the risk of failing to deliver on time.
According to the person in charge of Nanning Freight Center of China Railway Nanning Bureau Group Co., Ltd., the total journey of this heavy machinery China-Europe train is about 5031 kilometers. This batch of "Made in Guangxi" can be shipped to Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, to serve the local engineering construction.
It is reported that the “Nanning-Xi’an (Xinzhu)-Nur-Sultan” China-Europe Express Train launched this time directly connects the capital cities of the two provinces and autonomous regions of Guangxi and Shaanxi. It is of great significance to function, radiate and promote the development of industries in the surrounding areas as an important gateway city that connects the core cities of the district with the "Belt and Road".
