China's rail cargo volume rose by 5.5 per cent year on year (YoY) in the first half of this year, according to the China State Railway Group Co. Ltd. (China Railway), which recently said a total of 1.95 billion tonnes of cargo was transported through China's railways during this period—102 million tonnes more than that in the same period last year.
Cargo volume is a key indicator of economic activities.
Coal used for power generation carried via railways totaled 690 million tonnes—up by 9.1 per cent YoY, official Chinese media reported.
During the first half of the year, the number of China-Europe freight train trips rose 2 per cent YoY to 7,473. The trains carried 720,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit containers—up by 2.6 per cent from a year earlier.
