China-EU fast-track rail freight cooperation

He stressed that local governments and companies in Spain have shown a positive attitude toward strengthening cooperation on the "Yixin'ou" (Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe) cargo line by expanding exports to China in a more convenient manner.

Xavier Wanderpepen, who is responsible for China-Europe rail freight activities at Forwardis, a subsidiary of France's national railway company SNCF Logistics, said: "We wish to offer French and Chinese companies occasional train solutions, and we wish to work with China on the development of freight wagons with variable gauges capable of adapting to the situation in Western Europe, Russia and China. In a few years, we will be able to connect China and Europe in 10 days."
