QUANZHOU, CHINA - Media OutReach - 27 January 2022 - The first CRE train service between Quanzhou and Moscow was launched to boost economic and trade relations between the major economic development zone of Jinjiang and Europe. On January 18, 2022, a CRE train (No. 75010) departed from Quanzhou East Station, loaded with products such as sanitation supplies, bags, shoes and clothing, and handicrafts, etc. for Moscow. According to Quanzhou Municipal Bureau Of Commerce, this is the first CRE train to Europe from Quanzhou, which is the starting point of Maritime Silk Road, and the inauguration of the train route will open new avenues for the foreign trade in Jinjiang, a county-level city of Quanzhou City.

The non-stop train departing from Quanzhou East Station will cross the border at Manzhouli Frontier Station and arrive at Moscow after a 20-day travel, with a total journey of about 10,960 km. This rail freight service shortens the transportation time by 25 days when compared with maritime shipping time.
