China Europe train is the only profitable city

So far, the number of China Europe trains has exceeded 5000. The number of domestic departure cities has reached 32, and it can reach 12 countries and 32 cities in Europe.
More and more companies are beginning to promote China Europe trains. One belt, one road fall over each other, is being vigorously promoted by city governments.
The China Europe train has become a "sweet pastry" that people are grabbing, and it is difficult to find a car.
1、 How big is the market space of "China Europe train"?
The China Europe train began to sprout from the Chongqing Xinjiang Europe line in the early stage. The supply composition has expanded from bulk trade goods to today's cross-border e-commerce goods. It can be said that the volume of goods has soared all the way.
As a service between air transportation and sea transportation in terms of price and timeliness. At a time when international trade is weak and foreign trade exporters want to further reduce their logistics costs, the emergence of China Europe trains does meet the needs of some shippers.
Especially in the peak export season in the second half of the year, when the air and sea positions are tight, the China Europe train will become an effective supplement to the transportation capacity of shopping malls.
One belt, one road and one interconnection between the two countries are now being advocated. China is in the leading position in high speed rail technology. With China's increasing investment in infrastructure in countries along the China Europe train, it is estimated that there will be a lot of room for improvement in the timeliness of the China Europe train in the future. Market competitiveness will be more outstanding.
2、 Particularity and scarcity of railway capacity resources
The current China Europe train is mainly led by various local government departments and jointly promoted by railways, customs and large state-owned transportation enterprises. The collection of goods is mainly outsourced to many freight forwarding companies in the market.
The railway department still undertakes many social functions of the government in China. In such a populous country as China, the railway is a national strategic resource for many times. The annual Spring Festival transportation is the railway boss and the main force. Railway transport capacity resources have not been fully market-oriented.
Because of the instability of the return supply, the current China Europe trains basically have to rely on the strong subsidies of local governments to play well. The threshold and setting qualification of train contracting and operation companies are relatively high.
The scarcity and particularity of railway capacity resources are directly related to the competition pattern of the follow-up development of shopping malls. The sustainability and intensity of local government subsidies are also directly related to the price advantage of shopping malls.
3、 Sustained and healthy development of China Europe trains
The current China Europe trains on the market are due to different departure cities, different customs clearance ports at the port of destination and different government subsidies. To some extent, it leads to the disorder of prices in the market.
It's like being the agent of China's postal small package EMS and small package products. Because each local post office will have a certain sales strategy for the consideration of completion indicators. As a result, the same service is delivered from different ports and cities, and the price discount varies greatly.
The effective arrangement of goods source of railway scattered mode, through the sharing mechanism between different regions and agents, can maximize the utilization efficiency of transport capacity resources and improve profits, which also needs professional consideration and practice.
At present, China Europe trains are still in the stage of blowout increase. There is still a lot of local profit space at the short-term level, and the long-term trend depends on the promotion of the large policy level and the reform progress of railway resource marketization.
4、 "Yingman Europe" has sprung up and become the only profitable city in Europe among the only domestic cities without government subsidies
The provinces and cities along the route also regard the China Europe train as the main support to open the logistics channel between China and European countries, and have high hopes, giving birth to a number of China Europe trains one after another. Recently, when visiting Yingkou port in Liaoning Province, the reporter found that the "Yingman Europe" sea rail intermodal container train leaving the country through Manzhouli Port to Russia and other European countries has a stable supply of goods. It is the only Eurasian Continental Bridge in China that operates completely according to shopping malls and has no government subsidies. So, how is its operation? What problems have it encountered in the process of operation?
”The "sea rail intermodal container train" between Yingkou and Europe has been in operation since 2008. Now, four China Europe direct international trains have been opened from Yingkou port to Moscow, Warsaw, Belarus centrolit and Slovakia dobra through Manzhouli, with six trains operating every week. The latest statistics show that in 2014, "Yingkou and Europe" "The finished container volume is 21678 TEUs, accounting for about 90% of the market share of northeast ports and 47% of the total outbound container volume of Manzhouli Port.
Li Guodong said that it can make a profit without financial or special fund subsidies. "Yingman Europe" relies on the seamless connection between shipping and railway and the significant shortening of customs clearance time, and then reduces the summarized logistics cost including time cost. "In terms of customs clearance, Japan and South Korea transit goods are loaded first and then declared, and then sent away and declared the next day, Complete the seamless docking of vehicles and ships. Domestic goods are declared closed before they arrive at Hong Kong. The Customs provides convenience, and the biggest selling point of this line is time.
