Logistics sector accelerates global expansion
It focuses on the robust transformation and global‑oriented development of Linyi's logistics industry, which serves as core competitive advantage for Linyi Trade City under the Going global, connecting the world. strategy.
Long‑famous as “China's Logistics Capital”, Linyi owns more than 2,200 logistics enterprises and over 2,200 domestic freight routes. In recent years, the city pushes forward structural shift: expanding from dominant domestic road‑freight business toward a comprehensive three‑dimensional international‑logistics network integrating highway, railway, sea‑rail intermodal and air‑cargo transport.
For international highway logistics, Linyi has built China's first synchronized complex for TIR international road transport: assembling center, customs‑facilitation service center and vehicle‑inspection center. The number of TIR‑registered vehicles and outbound trips rank among the nation's top levels. TIR cross‑border trucks can depart once cargo is consolidated, reaching destination warehouses across Central Asia, Russia and the Caucasus region in roughly seven days, greatly shortening transit time compared with older railway‑consolidation models that previously needed nearly one month for the whole cycle.
On the railway dimension, Linyi's China‑Europe freight trains operate multiple routes covering 43 cities across 14 European countries. Custom‑trains carrying construction machinery, hardware and home‑appliance goods depart directly from local rail yards, delivering Linyi‑made commodities to Eurasian markets.
Sea‑intermodal links connect Linyi with Shandong coastal ports. Local enterprises complete full customs‑declaration procedures inside Linyi, and containers are transported by road to Qingdao port for direct loading onto ocean‑going vessels, cutting comprehensive logistics costs by around 20 percent. In the air‑freight sector, all‑cargo flights connect Linyi with Seoul and Osaka, reinforcing air‑cargo capacity for high‑value and time‑sensitive export commodities.
Digital‑intelligent transformation proceeds simultaneously. Large‑scale smart logistics parks deploy automated stereoscopic warehouses, AGV robots and whole‑process digital cargo‑tracking platforms. Data systems connect markets, factories, warehouses and cross‑border transport carriers, improving overall supply‑chain efficiency.
Integrating market resources, manufacturing capacity and multi‑modal transport networks, Linyi's logistics system underpins the global‑expansion drive of Linyi Trade City. Moving forward, Linyi will keep improving multi‑modal international‑logistics passages, foster international‑logistics backbone enterprises and further implement the Going global, connecting the world. initiative to build a world‑class modern‑logistics hub.
