en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission launched the online "China-Europe Freight Train Dispatch Demand" docking platform on the 9th. Built upon the "Anhui Province Major Foreign Cooperation Project Management System," this platform operates on a voluntary and free-of-charge basis for the regular collection of dispatch demands for China-Europe freight trains. Following its launch, the Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission will regularly aggregate and analyze the demand information and coordinate with entities such as the China-Europe freight train operation platforms to optimize train operation plans.
The platform is open to enterprises, covering services including demand collection, plan optimization, and dispatch coordination. The Anhui Provincial Development and Reform Commission stated that the relevant mechanism will focus on gathering information related to China-Europe freight train scheduling, allowing companies to submit their dispatch requirements through the platform.
Anhui's first international rail freight special train, the "Hefei-Xinjiang-Europe" Central Asia freight train, departed from Hefei North Station in June 2014 bound for Almaty, Kazakhstan, achieving a "zero breakthrough" for the province's international rail freight special trains. In 2025, the China-Europe freight train (Hefei) operated a total of 1,002 trips, a year-on-year increase of 10.28%, providing point-to-point direct services to 179 cities across 20 countries. In the same year, Hefei was approved as a national-level China-Europe freight train assembly center, promoting the "Railway Express Clearance" model. It launched its first new energy vehicle car-carrier special train and a road-rail intermodal freight train, and operated over 45 "Cross Two Seas" freight trains.
A relevant person in charge of Hefei International Inland Port Development Co., Ltd. stated that at the beginning of 2025, the operation volume of the China-Europe freight train (Hefei) had declined year-on-year. However, with the implementation of customs clearance mechanisms such as "Pre-arrival Customs Declaration" and "Railway Express Clearance," the customs clearance efficiency for the China-Europe freight train (Hefei) improved and logistics costs decreased. In the first quarter of this year, the China-Europe freight train (Hefei) operated a total of 220 trips, a year-on-year increase of 41.37%.
