This shipment of anti-epidemic materials was commissioned by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which chose the train for its high efficiency. The quantity of anti-epidemic materials transported by trains between China and Europe far exceeds the capacity of other modes of freight transport. The cost is also lower than that of air transport by a factor of 30, and time in transit is 10-20 days less than sea transport. All these advantages were fully recognized by the French side.

The operation of the Nanchang China-Europe train is expected to link international industrial and supply chains, help enterprises resume manufacturing and contribute to the global fight against the coronavirus, courtesy of Jiangxi province.

In addition, Nanchang has been running international freight trains to the Netherlands, Vietnam, Russia and Belarus.
