China launches regular freight train service to Central Asia

A freight train loaded with steel products, air conditioners, and other goods departed Wujiashan Station in Wuhan, marking the official launch of a regular freight service connecting central China with Central Asia.

The train is expected to arrive in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, within ten days.

The regular freight service launched on 12th April will integrate Hubei’s manufacturing output into international supply chains as well as strengthen trade ties between Hubei Province and Central Asian markets.

Wuhan operates weekly freight routes to Central Asia, increasing its monthly freight capacity to 440 containers, or approximately 7,500 tons of goods.

Currently, automobiles, auto parts, optoelectronic products, and agricultural goods produced in Hubei are in strong demand across the region.
