蘭渝鐵路縮短“渝新歐”行程

蘭渝鐵路2015年運(yùn)營(yíng)，重慶到蘭州只需6.5小時(shí)，屆時(shí)“渝新歐”全程運(yùn)行時(shí)間有望縮短至12天。

記者在本次渝洽會(huì)上獲悉，2008年動(dòng)工的蘭渝鐵路，重慶境內(nèi)路基土石方已完成了99%，今年內(nèi)將完成合川渭沱站至興隆場(chǎng)編組站的全部建設(shè)，預(yù)計(jì)在2015年底，蘭渝鐵路將全線投入運(yùn)營(yíng)。屆時(shí)，重慶到蘭州的時(shí)間將會(huì)縮短到6.5小時(shí)，渝新歐的運(yùn)營(yíng)時(shí)間也會(huì)更短。

蘭渝鐵路有限責(zé)任公司副總經(jīng)理蔡碧林介紹，蘭渝鐵路經(jīng)過甘、陜、川、渝四省（市），客車方面，蘭州至四川廣元段行駛160公里每小時(shí)，廣元至重慶段行駛200公里每小時(shí)。貨車全線時(shí)速則在120-160公里每小時(shí)之間。

渝新歐(重慶)物流公司總經(jīng)理周樹林在渝洽會(huì)論壇上透露，蘭渝鐵路全線貫通后，“渝新歐”國(guó)內(nèi)段將縮短700公里。此外，沿線各國(guó)也將提速，最快運(yùn)行時(shí)速將達(dá)到120公里，“提速后，“渝新歐”每天的運(yùn)行距離都將超過1000公里，加上吊裝換軌，12天就能運(yùn)行完全程?！?/p>

外賓對(duì)“渝新歐”的期盼

“提升‘渝新歐’競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力的當(dāng)務(wù)之急，是解決回程貨源問題?！倍砹_斯駐華商務(wù)代表處經(jīng)濟(jì)處處長(zhǎng)佩列瓦洛夫·亞歷山大在演講中稱，要組織到充足貨源，首先得提高鐵路的運(yùn)行效率。他表示，一旦縮短現(xiàn)有運(yùn)行時(shí)間，同時(shí)在歐洲開展“門對(duì)門”配送服務(wù)，“渝新歐”的回程貨客戶將會(huì)大幅增加。

德國(guó)駐成都總領(lǐng)事館副總領(lǐng)事馬晏子表示，“渝新歐”開通后，為中德商貿(mào)互動(dòng)提供了硬件基礎(chǔ)。不過，目前德國(guó)還有不少企業(yè)并不知曉這條便捷的國(guó)際大通道。要提高班列的開行頻率，增加運(yùn)量，組織回程貨源，還需要繼續(xù)廣而告之，讓更多有對(duì)華出口需求的歐洲企業(yè)知曉。

來(lái)自周邊的匈牙利、意大利、法國(guó)、荷蘭等國(guó)的嘉賓，也對(duì)渝新歐拋來(lái)橄欖枝。

“要實(shí)現(xiàn)外貿(mào)貨物無(wú)邊界流通，從而在全球配置生產(chǎn)資源，實(shí)現(xiàn)生產(chǎn)效率最大化，便捷的物流通道至關(guān)重要。”匈牙利駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館總領(lǐng)事海博說，從這一角度看，“渝新歐”遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超越了物流通道的意義。他表示，雖然不是“渝新歐”途經(jīng)國(guó)，但匈牙利位于歐洲中心，輻射能力強(qiáng)，如果能在此建立分撥點(diǎn)，將有更多歐洲企業(yè)愿意通過匈牙利中轉(zhuǎn)，搭乘“渝新歐”通過“新絲路”到重慶，再通過長(zhǎng)江經(jīng)濟(jì)帶到達(dá)中國(guó)的廣袤市場(chǎng)。

意大利駐重慶總領(lǐng)事館總領(lǐng)事馬非同、荷蘭外商投資促進(jìn)局駐華總代表紀(jì)維德、法國(guó)歐朗集團(tuán)全球副總裁格蕾絲?科林，都表達(dá)了希望借“渝新歐”東風(fēng)，與重慶乃至中國(guó)擴(kuò)大經(jīng)貿(mào)往來(lái)的愿望。

他們認(rèn)為，隨著今年“渝新歐”回程貨班列的常態(tài)開行，重慶有望成為歐洲對(duì)華貿(mào)易的分撥中心，并建議重慶在產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型升級(jí)中，將“渝新歐”作為輸送管道，更快地引進(jìn)歐洲先進(jìn)技術(shù)和高端裝備制造業(yè)。

Foreign Guests Excited about “Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe”Railway during CCISF

From May 15 to 18, the 2014 CCISF was held in Chongqing International Exposition Center. In and outside of the venue, foreign guests are quite enthusiastic about Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway.

Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway shortens Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe journey

Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway will be operated in 2015 by running 6.5 hours. At that time, the whole operation time of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe line might be shortened to 12 days.

Lanzhou-Chongqing line is a double-track railway from Lanzhou, Gansu province to Chongqing with a total length of 818.71 km, in which 132.5 km is in Chongqing. While the train travels from Lanzhou to Weituo station, Hechuan, Chongqing, the cargo and passenger trains split to different tracks. The cargo train head for Xinglongchang for marshalling and the passenger train enters into Chongqing North Station.

It is learnt from the CCISF that 99% subgrade earthwork of the Chongqing section, Lanzhou-Chongqing line, which initially started in 2008, has been completed. This year, all the construction of Hechuan Weituo Station to Xinglongchang marshalling yard will be completed. It is predicted that by the end of 2015, the whole Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway will be launched into operation. At that time, the travelling time between Chongqing and Lanzhou will be shorted to 6.5 hours, thus also shortening the journey of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe train.

According to Cai Bilin, vice general manager of Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway Co., Ltd, the railway cuts across Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and Chongqing. The passenger train travels at the speed of 160 km per hour from Lanzhou to Guangyuan, Sichuan and 200 km per hour from Guangyuan to Chongqing. The speed for the cargo train throughout the journey is between 120 to 160 km per hour.

Zhou Shulin, general manager of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe (Chongqing) Logistics Corporation said during a CCISF forum that after the fi nal launch of Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway, the mileage of the domestic section of Chongqing –Xinjiang-Europe Railway can be shortened by 700 km. In addition, countries along the line will also accelerate their railway speed up to 120 km per hour, after which the daily travelling distance of the train will exceed 1000 km per day. Together with hoisting and track switching, the train can fi nish the journey in 12 days.

Foreign guests enthusiastic about Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway

“The priority to raise competitiveness of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway is to find the backhaul cargo,”said Perevalov Alexander, head of economic section, Russia-China Trade Offi ce, “ in order to organize suffi cient cargo, the operation efficiency of the railway must be raised first.” He also added that once the current running time is shortened and door-to-door delivery offered in Europe, the backhaul customers will greatly increase.

Jens Kraus-Masse, deputy consul general of Germany in Chengdu said that after the launch of Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway, a hardware foundation is rendered to China-German trade interaction. Many German companies, however, are still unaware of this convenient international channel. To inform more European companies exporting to China, the train frequency and cargo volume shall be increased, and more backhaul cargo must be organized through further publicity.

Guests from Hungry, Italy, France and Netherlands also expressed their interest toward the railway.

“Convenient logistics channels are vital to realize boundless circulation of cargo, allocate production resources in the world and realize optimized production efficiency,” said Haiba Tamas, consul general of Hungary in Chongqing. From this perspective, Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway has far exceeded the signifi cance of a mere logistics channel. He said that hough not a country along the line, Hungary is situated in the center of Europe with strong infl uence to other countries. If a distribution center is set up here, more European companies are willing to transit via Hungary and reach Chongqing through this new “Silk Road” and then reach the vast Chinese market through the Yangtze River economic belt.

Sergio Maffettone, consul general of Italy in Chongqing, Guy Wittich, head of Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency and Grace Colin, global vice president of French Colang Group all expressed interest to expand trade ties with Chongqing and the rest of China with opportunities of the railway.

They believed that as the backhaul trains are normalized in this year, Chongqing might become a distribution center of European goods to China. They also suggested that during the industrial upgrading of Chongqing, the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway can be the pipeline to bring in advanced European technologies and high-end equip manufacturing industry faster.
