Chinese international trade takes a new step with a spectacular increase in shooting operations. Since their authorization last year, these transport has recorded an increase of 88 %, according to data published by IRU. No less than seven countries have already taken advantage of this device to send and receive goods via the shooting system.
This development is based on an expanding infrastructure: 35 border and Chinese interior cities have facilitated the entry and exit of heavy goods vehicles on 50 commercial routes. These corridors thus open up new perspectives for trade between China and Europe.
In this dynamic, five logistics hubs accredited by IRU have emerged in strategic centers: Kashgar, ürümqi, Zhengzhou, Shenyang and Chengdu. These cities, essential for international trade, strengthen the country’s logistical network.
An increasing adoption by companies
The shooting system is increasingly appealing to the players in transport, transit and logistics. Forty companies are currently operating more than 20 shooting routes, connecting China to regions such as Central Asia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Caucasus. This growth reflects an increasing attraction for this rapid and secure transport system.
Supported by the United Nations, the shooting system (international road transport) makes it possible to transport goods from one country to another in sealed compartments, while benefiting from a simplified and mutually recognized customs control. This solution thus promotes the fluidity of international exchanges and reduces transit times.
A historic year for shooting
“The year 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the shooting system and is a key step in its large -scale development in China”. Tatiana Rey-Bellet, director of shooting and transit at IRU, underlines the crucial role of joint efforts between IRU, private sector partners and public authorities to achieve this objective.
