This special train shipment is a powerful measure to implement the major decisions and arrangements of the central, provincial and municipal governments for the construction of Hefei District, Anhui Free Trade Experimental Zone, and is another extension of the "Hefei Central Europe Train Plus" business model. The launch of the China-EU cross-border e-commerce export train will lay a solid foundation for the city to expand and strengthen its retail export 9610 business, explore new export models for export 9710 and 9810, and open up new channels and new markets for the city's and even the province's cross-border e-commerce industry.

Affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, the shopping habits of many consumers are currently changing, and the use of e-commerce platforms among European users has increased significantly. As a landmark project of the national "the belt and road initiative" initiative, China-EU Banlieues have become the most reliable and stable international channel for the transportation of import and export goods, which has effectively boosted the rapid development of cross-border e-commerce.

In recent years, Hefei, supported by the interconnection of railway infrastructure, has strengthened its connection to the east, expanded its opening to the west, and made better use of both domestic and international resources and markets to create a safe, efficient and convenient international intermodal transport corridor. Since the operation in 2014, Hefei Central Europe Banlieues has shipped more than 1,700 trains, and the sea-rail intermodal transport has sent more than 120,000 containers, realizing an import and export trade volume of more than 47 billion RMB,It has opened 44 lines, 14 countries with point-to-point direct access and 42 international node cities,It has initially formed a transportation network with Hefei as its main hub, and has moved westward to Europe, northward to Mongolia and Russia, eastward to ports, and southward to ocean shipping and other countries and regions,This has greatly promoted the development of the export-oriented economy in Anhui Province and the construction of a large opening channel to the outside world. In particular, Hefei CEIBS has strengthened its coordinated development with special customs areas such as Hefei Comprehensive Free Trade Zone and Shushan Cross-border E-commerce Comprehensive Test Zone, and has strived to build an open platform system integrating water, land, air and cross-border electronic commerce.
