山西开出首趟“中吉乌”铁公联运光伏班列

Core Viewpoint - The first photovoltaic train from Shanxi Province has successfully launched, establishing a new international logistics channel for exports to Central Asia through the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan multimodal transport corridor [1][3]. Group 1: Logistics and Transportation - The train, loaded with photovoltaic components, departed from the Zhongding Logistics Park and is expected to reach Kashgar in 9 days, after which it will exit through the Irkeshtam port and travel through Kyrgyzstan to reach Andijan, Uzbekistan [1][3]. - Compared to the traditional route via the Horgos port, which covers 4,935 kilometers and takes approximately 15 days, the new route reduces the distance by about 600 kilometers and shortens the transit time by 6 days, resulting in a significant decrease in logistics costs of nearly 1,000 yuan per box [3]. Group 2: Infrastructure Development - The China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, which is being constructed with China's support, officially commenced construction in July this year. This railway will connect Kashgar in Xinjiang, China, to Andijan in Uzbekistan, and is expected to become the shortest route for transporting goods from China to Europe and the Middle East upon completion [3].
