On the morning of January 26, 2021, the first China Railway Express (Wuhan) FiberHome customized block train departed from China Railway Union Wuhan Central Station and departed via Erlianhot. It is expected to arrive in Lodz, Poland in 18 days.It is reported that the block train is loaded with communication products produced by FiberHome, with a total quantity of 48 high containers, a cargo weight of more than 1,000 tons, and a cargo value of tens of millions of RMB.
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the block trains, Wuhan Asia-Europe Logistics actively communicated with Wuhan Railway Bureau Group, overseas railway companies, customs and other relevant departments, and carefully planned and coordinated arrangements in terms of route application, plan formulation, space coordination, and customs declaration. The relevant person of FiberHome introduced: "Made in Hubei" can directly reach the countries along the European route in more than ten days, which will help FiberHome to accelerate the expansion of the European market. In the past, the products of FiberHome had to be transported to coastal areas first, then by sea to Europe base ports, and finally transferred to Lodz. It took more than 45 days; now, it takes 18 days to take the China Railway Express (Wuhan) to Lodz directly. It can better meet market and production needs, reduce the company’s comprehensive logistics costs, and enhance the company’s overseas competitiveness.
Since 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19, traditional international logistics methods have greatly increased costs and timeliness. It is relatively difficult for many export-oriented enterprises in the province to go global. The China Railway Express (Wuhan) has become the “main artery” of transportation for Hubei enterprises to “go global”;China Railway Express (Wuhan) platform company Wuhan Asia-Europe Logistics, with the close cooperation of railways, customs and other relevant units, gives priority to ensuring the transportation capacity and space requirements of enterprises in the province, and realizes the priority of the province’s source of goods in Wuhan China Railway Express priority carriage, priority loading, and priority transportation. This has ensured the smooth flow of the industrial chain and supply chain of local enterprises, helped the implementation of the "six stability" and "six guarantees", and played a positive role in promoting the high-quality development of Hubei's economy.
