Great economic and trade, great exchange

Set up a new "golden channel" for European trade

In 2017, Sichuan parallel car sales accounted for 15.7% of the national total. Where do these parallel imported cars come from if they are not along the border or by the sea? And why is it so popular in this western province?

The opportunity came quietly two years ago. In January 2015, Chengdu International Railway Port was approved as an import port for complete vehicles. In September 2016, the Ministry of Commerce and other eight ministries and commissions approved the launch of the pilot parallel import of automobiles. With the advantages of the golden freight channel and the import port platform of the China-Europe express train, Sichuan bid farewell to the history of transshipment from Tianjin Port or Shanghai Port. With higher logistics efficiency and lower transportation costs, parallel imported vehicles not only satisfy the huge consumer market in Chengdu, but also stir up western regions such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Tibet.

China-Europe Express Train + Chengdu International Railway Port + Sichuan Pilot Free Trade Zone, bringing adsorption effect:

More changes are constantly emerging, newer explorations are still moving forward, and a larger pattern is taking shape.
