Chartered rescue train heads for Paris


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.
