China has launched a freight train service

China has launched a freight train service between its northeastern
city of Harbin and Europe. The 9,820-km-long distance rail route will
open new trade options for Chinese goods in the European Market.

It was launched by HAO Logistics Co. Ltd which is a joint venture
company that runs the freight service.

The train carrying 49 containers of domestic goods such as electronic
products and auto parts worth US 3 million dollars started its journey
from Harbin capital of Heilongjiang province.

The freight train will run once a week. Each single trip will take 15
days and it will transport goods from China, South Korea and Japan as
well as goods from European countries such as Poland, Germany, Spain,
France and Italy. This train will pass through countries like Russia
and Poland to reach its final destination in Hamburg, Germany.

Several other Chinese cities like Changsha, Chengdu, Chongqing, Yiwu,
Hefei and Suzhou have launched similar freight train services to
Europe.
