Brand logo for China-Europe container trains put into use

Xinhua, June 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

The official logo for the China-Europe cargo trains was released Wednesday, the China Railway Corp. said.

Logo-bearing container trains will depart from Chongqing, Chengdu, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Suzhou, Dongguan and Yiwu on Wednesday.

All cargo trains from China to Europe will use this new logo, which integrates the Chinese railway logo and its English abbreviation, in red and black.

More than 1,700 of these container trains are in operation nationwide. The first China-Europe container train departed from southwest China's Chongqing to Germany's Duisburg in 2011.

The China-Europe container trains have become a major transportation channel of the international logistics industry, and also powerful support for the development of the Belt and Road initiative.

The route -- the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road -- provides an infrastructure network connecting China and Europe. Endi
