The train departs at Chongqing Tuanjie Village Station and is transported to Xinjiang by railway, and then is transported by road to the port of Irkeshtan. It is expected that the train will arrive in Uzbekistan five to seven days after customs formalities are completed and departure, which will benefit the development of international trade.

There are three overseas transport channels of China Europe Express, namely, the north, the middle and the south. With the normalized operation of China EU trains, China EU economy and trade have grown in an all-round way. The North and Middle Passages are now mature and relatively saturated in carrying capacity. The China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan line is an important part of the South Passage Line of the China Europe Railway Express. The operation of this China Kyrgyzstan Uzbekistan road rail intermodal line has become another major measure in the expansion of the South Passage Line since the China Europe Railway Express (Chongqing Xinjiang Europe) opened the "two seas" route of the South Passage, which will further improve the transport system of the China Europe and Central Asia trains, Smooth the international trade and logistics channels in Eurasia.

Qi Hongwei, the international train service agent of Jieshite Logistics, said: "We collect scattered sources of goods by means of consolidated freight trains to carry China Europe trains abroad. Under the road rail intermodal mode, the owner of the goods only needs to handle a consignment, sign a transport contract, pay a freight, handle insurance, and obtain a intermodal bill of lading, which is simple and fast. At the same time, we can also contact and coordinate in advance between operating locations, saving a lot of freight and miscellaneous expenses, and reducing The overall transportation cost of international trade is increased. "
