lasted 11 days and spanned 11,000 kilometers. Wuxi's first truck flight arrived at Shuofang.

21, Wuxi's first truck flight "Su Xin" arrived at Shuofang.

carriage started from Germany and lasted 11 days. The whole journey was transported by pure road, 10,001 kilometers across Eurasia.

this also means that the "fourth logistics" channel from Wuxi to Europe has been unblocked. The whole process takes only three days later than air transportation, but the cost is 2/3 cheaper.

, the "Su Xin" heavy truck loaded with auto parts drove into the logistics park of Pross Wuxi Airport. Dai Daobin, general manager of marketing of China-Europe Caravan Logistics Service Co., Ltd., said that entrusted by a global auto parts giant in Wuxi, the "Su Xin" started from the Duisburg factory in Germany on October 10 and passed through Poland, Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan.

arrived at Horgos Port on October 17. After changing trains and drivers, he entered China and continued to drive towards Wuxi. In the early morning of the 21st, the goods were delivered to the customer's warehouse on time, so as to achieve "door-to-door" transportation.

used to transport goods between China and Europe by air, sea and rail, thanks to China's accession to the Convention on international road transport in 2016 and the completion of Shuangxi highway in 2018, truck flights can now be realized.

Dai Daobin said that although sea transportation is cheap but takes a long time, air transportation is fast but the price is high, and railway transportation is only for large customers. Take the 2 tons of goods transported this time as an example. The "door-to-door" from Germany is only about three days faster than trucks, but the price is three times higher. Shipping and rail transportation take three to five ten days, and all three modes of transportation need to be booked 3 to 10 days in advance.

by contrast, the "fourth logistics" such as truck flights can provide more flexible and convenient transportation methods for those enterprises with limited cargo volume and requirements for timeliness, and will also help them expand the Eurasian market.

Dai Daobin said, "This time, we are also applying intelligent monitoring equipment for the first time in the transportation process to monitor the temperature, humidity, vibration, bumps, tilt, etc. of the carriage in real time. An alarm will be issued in time if there is an abnormality; at the same time, it is also set up. Electronic fences prevent drivers from driving fatigue and ensure the safety of vehicles and goods."

At present, the "Su Xin" has been operating normally in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, and is issued from China and Europe every Tuesday and Friday.
