Beijing, April 2, AZERTAC

A China-Europe freight train carrying electronic equipment, household appliances, and daily consumer goods has departed for Baku from Wuhan, Hubei Province.

The first direct China-Europe freight train from Wuhan to Baku along the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, the Middle Corridor, will pass through the Horgos border crossing in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR) into Kazakhstan and onward across the Caspian Sea to Baku.

The rail-sea multimodal transport route is expected to reach Baku in 18 days.

Compared with traditional international logistics channels, the route offers lower geopolitical risks, stronger supply chain resilience, and more manageable transport link.

The route also provides Hubei’s export-oriented enterprises with a highly efficient and stable logistics artery expanding into the emerging Eurasian markets.
