By interweaving two thousand years of warps and ten thousand miles of wefts, a golden ribbon is made across the northern hemisphere between China (Yiwu) and Europe (Madrid).
Founded in 2010, YXE Trading Service Group (“YXE Group”) currently operates the YXE CHINA RAILWAY Express and provides specialized and integrated cross-border trade and logistics solutions spanning across container trains, stations and terminals, smart warehouses, international express delivery by rail, and trade supply chain across China, Central Asia and Europe. In the last decade, we have set up three subsidiaries and three offices in Eurasian countries along the Belt and Road and we employ more than 140 professionals in China and beyond.
Yiwu Timex Industrial Investment Co., Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of YXE Group, is the operator of the YXE container trains. At YXE Group, we leverage on Yiwu’s reputation as “the international capital of small commodities” and the buoyant demand for cargo shipment in Zhejiang and the Yangtze River Delta, the hub of Chinese manufacturing and international trade, to provide global logistics and trade supply chain solutions for more than 10,000 Chinese and foreign companies. Since YXE Container Train was first envisioned by Chinese President Xi Jinping in September 2014, our trains have further enabled coast-to-coast connectivity between the Pacific in Asia and the Atlantic in Europe. A total of 14 international train lines are now running between Yiwu and the five Central Asian countries, Madrid, Tehran (Iran), Moscow, Mazar-i-Sharif (Afghanistan), Minsk (Belarus), Riga (Latvia), London, Prague, Dourges (France), Liege (Belgium), Vilnius(Lithuania), Hanoi(Vietnam) and Kyiv(Ukraine) respectively. In particular, the Yiwu- Malaszewicze (Poland) international mail and parcel post train service and Cainiao eWTP, the first cross-border e-commerce train service in Eastern China (Yiwu-Liege), are both running regularly. By 2019, the YXE CR Express had achieved an average daily schedule of 3 trains and a high of 6.
Departing with the glories of the ancient Silk Road in mind and advancing towards the lofty goal of win-win development for all, the YXE CR Express has been openly complimented by President Xi six times in various important diplomatic missions since its inception in November 18th, 2014. In the inaugural Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation on May 13th, 2017, President Xi said, “The launch of the YXE Container Train service from Yiwu to Madrid had opened up a vital bridge of connectivity between Asia and Europe and is an example of early harvest of the Belt and Road Initiative.” On November 29th, 2018, during President Xi’s state visit to Spain, the YXE CR Express was included under Article 25 of the Joint Statement of the People’s Republic of China and the Kingdom of Spain on Strengthening Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in the New Era Article as a deliverable from his visit.
