First TIR transport from Europe to China arrives in only 12 days

The first successful TIR transport from Europe to China was completed on Tuesday after a 7,400 km journey from Germany to Khorgos, a major Chinese overland Belt and Road port.

Carrying 12 tonnes of automobile lubricant in challenging winter conditions, the TIR truck started its 7,400 km journey in Germany, entering Poland and travelling through Belarus, Russia and Kazakhstan to China in just 12 days without disruption or customs issues.

This TIR journey follows last year’s first TIR transport from China to Europe (Khorgos – Poland, 7,000 km in 13 days), jointly conducted by IRU and global leading logistics companies, CEVA and Alblas. Read more
