SINOTRUK SITRAK delivery opens new TIR route

SINOTRUK SITRAK delivered 50 fuel-powered heavy trucks to Shandong Linmanou International Logistics Co Ltd on June 18, supporting a new direct transport service that combines 9610 cross-border e-commerce with TIR international road transport, a system that simplifies customs procedures for cross-border trucking.

The delivery and inaugural departure ceremony was held at the second-phase yard of the customs supervision station at Linyi Jitie Logistics Park. Two trucks set off that day carrying cross-border e-commerce goods to Moscow, with the journey expected to take eight to nine days.

The new fleet will serve routes to Russia and Central Asia. With the added capacity, Linmanou can dispatch five trucks a day under regular operations, providing stable international logistics support for cross-border e-commerce companies in Linyi and beyond.

Linyi is the first Chinese city to host a TIR assembly center, a facilitation transport service center and a vehicle inspection center at the same time. It also ranks first nationwide in TIR vehicle ownership and among the top four in transport scale.

Linmanou, Linyi's first company qualified for TIR international road transport, has opened more than 30 city routes to five countries, including Russia and Kazakhstan.

From January to May, Lanshan district recorded 1,133 international road transport trips, 216 China-Europe freight train arrivals and departures, and 118,000 TEUs handled at Linyi Port, all up by more than 30 percent from the same period in 2025.
