On June 28th, loaded with electronic equipment,"Medium-speed Lorry Transport" TIR truck owned by Sinotrans set off from Pinghu, Shenzhen, marking the official opening of the TIR international cross-border road freight route from Shenzhen to Central Asia. This route initiated the fourth freight channel from Shenzhen to overseas after air, sea, and rail transportation, and it is the first TIR international cross-border road transportation product to and from Central Asia in the Greater Bay Area.
This "zhongsukahang" TIR truck will transport to Kazakhstan via port in Xinjiang, with a total journey of 6-8 days to Central Asia and 10-12 days to other major countries on the Eurasian continent.
The door-to-door service provided by "zhongsukahang" saves the operation time from warehouse to airport and time for airport cargo stations required by conventional air transportation.Without unpacking or reloading throughout the entire process, it makes the overall transportation time equal to the air transportation time, giving truck transportation "air speed" and provides strong resource support for domestic brand products to go global. After the regular operation of the route, outbound vehicles will transport more high-quality Chinese made goods from the Greater Bay Area to "go global", while inbound vehicles will carry wines, beverages and fresh food from Central Asia, meeting the bilateral freight logistics needs in a better way.
With its safety, speed, flexibility, and intelligence, “Zhongsukahang”of Sinotrans provides domestic and foreign customers with a new transportation option combing advantages both in speed and cost.
