Umlando wokuthuthuka we-China-i-Europe Railway Express (CRE) uphawula ingqopha-mlando ebalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwamanethiwekhi omhlaba wonke, ethuthukisa kakhulu i-Asia-ukuxhumana kwe-Europe futhi iqhubekisela phambili ukuthuthukiswa komnotho wesifunda nezohwebo.
Isitimela sokuqala, esibizwa ngokuthi "Yuxinou," sasuka ngoMashi 19, 2011, sisuka eTuanjie Village eSifundazweni saseChongqing's Shapingba. Ithwala izinto zikagesi ezikhiqizwe endaweni iya eDuisburg, eJalimane, yasungula umhubhe wokuqala oqondile wokuhwebelana ngojantshi oxhumanisa iChina phakathi nezwe neYurophu, ibhekana nezikhala zezokuthutha emadolobheni angaphakathi. Ngokulandelayo, amadolobha ahlanganisa i-Chengdu, i-Wuhan, i-Yiwu, ne-Zhengzhou asungula awawo amasevisi, enza-inethiwekhi yama-node amaningi asheshisa ukuthuthukiswa komnotho ovulekile wase-China.
Ngo-2016, i-CRE yahlanganiswa ngaphansi kohlobo olulodwa lukazwelonke, yahlanganisa izinsiza futhi yathuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kahle kanye nekhwalithi yesevisi. Amavolumu esitimela aminyaka yonke anyuke esuka ku-1,702 ngo-2016 aya ngaphezu kuka-17,000 ngo-2023-ukwanda okuphindwe kashumi. NgoNovemba 2024, imisebenzi ehlanganisiwe yeqa izitimela eziyi-100,000, nesikhathi esidingekayo ukuze kufinyelelwe ezitimeleni eziyi-10,000 sehlisiwe sisuka ezinyangeni ezingama-90 saya ezinyangeni eziyi-6 kuphela.
Inethiwekhi manje ihlanganisa lonke izwekazi lase-Eurasia, ixhuma amadolobha aseShayina angu-125 futhi ifinyelela emadolobheni angama-217 emazweni angu-25 ase-Europe, kanye namadolobha angaphezu kwekhulu emazweni angu-11 ase-Asia.
Igatsha le-CRE lesiFundazwe sase-Henan lidlala indima ebalulekile: ngemva kokwamukela imodeli yokusebenza ehlangene ngo-2022, liphinde laqala kabusha uhlelo olubandayo lwamazwe ngamazwe lwenyama eqandisiwe ngo-2023 futhi laphatha umbukiso walo wokuqala ngo-2024, laqinisa umsebenzi walo wesizinda. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, ukuwela imingcele njenge-Khorgos e-Xinjiang kusetha amarekhodi onyaka wonyaka, okubonisa ukuqina kwephaseji okuthuthukisiwe.
Amandla abalulekile e-CRE atholakala ekubambeni kwesikhathi nasekuthembekeni kwayo: izikhathi zokuhamba ziyisilinganiso sezinsuku ezingu-16{1}}ingxenye eyodwa nje{2}}yengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yempahla yasolwandle{3}kanti izindleko ziyingxenye{4}}ingxenye yesihlanu yezokuthutha ngendiza. Akuthintwa ukuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu, iqinisekisa ukunyakaza okuphumelelayo-kwenani eliphezulu{7}}lezimpahla ezingeziwe ezifana ne-electronics nezimoto zamandla amasha, okufinyeza ngendlela emangalisayo i-Asia{8}}i-Europe supply chain. Imodeli yayo-"imizila yezitimela ithuthukisa ukuhamba kwezinto, uhwebo lwezokuthutha, kanye nemboni yezohwebo"{11}}iguqule izifunda ezimaphakathi nezwe zaba imingcele yezomnotho evulekile, yaqinisa indima yayo njengomgogodla wezokuthutha we-Belt and Road Initiative.
