According to the Xinhua News Agency, in 2022, 4000 freight trains proceeded from China’s largest dry port – Xi'an, the capital of the north- western province of Shaanxi, to Europe.

At the same time, on 23 November 2022, train No. X8151 left Xi'an for Europe with household appliances (washing machines, refrigerators, etc.) manufactured by the Chinese company Konka. This is the first such shipment in the direction of Europe by railway.

Konka has received another order from Germany for the supply of 50,000 dishwashers, which it also intends to ship by railway.
