The 9820-km freight route connects Harbin to Hamburg. The route uses the Trans-Siberian line and passes through Belarus and Poland. German auto giants Mercedes Benz and Audi as well as Taiwan’s electronics manufacturer Foxconn have already announced their intention to use the new route.
China launched the world’s longest freight train route which links the city of Harbin in northeast China with the German city of Hamburg, via Russia’s Trans-Siberian line, Xinhua said, citing the managing director of the Harbin-Europe international logistics company, Tu Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue told the news agency that the Harbin-Hamburg train route has high commercial value and low logistics costs, since it takes half as much time as the current road and sea trade routes.
