The "Tianshan" cold chain digital train is jointly led by Jiuding Agricultural Development Group of the 12th Army of the XPCC and IBI’s LLDD, and cooperates with high-quality resources such as China Railway Special Cargo and Sinotrans, aiming to open up the main cold chain transportation artery between Xinjiang and Southeast Asia, improve the operational efficiency of cross-border digital supply chain, help Xinjiang products go out of Xinjiang, and promote the initiative of "One Belt One Road" and "Domestic and International Dual Circulation".

Qian Xiaojun, founder and CEO of IBI, Liu Zhai, Senior Vice President of IBI and Chairwoman of LLDD, Liang Hao, CEO of LLDD, Chen Yong, First-level Inspector of the Commerce Bureau of the Corps, Zeng Xiaohong, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy Division Commander of the 12th Division of the Corps, Yuan Jiangwei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Wuchang Customs, Gao Lei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of Railway Logistics of China Railway Urumqi Group, Chen Shangwen, Second-level Inspector of Chongqing Municipal Government Office, As well as the logistics and operation organization center of the Western Land-Sea New Corridor, the Urumqi Branch of China Railway Special Cargo Logistics Co., Ltd., the Kashgar Office of Weihai Branch of Sinotrans Central China Co., Ltd., the Horgos Office of Weihai Branch of Sinotrans Central China Co., Ltd. and other collaborative units and leaders of linkage enterprises attended the launch ceremony. Zeng Xiaohong, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy Commander of the 12th Division, and Liu Zhai, Senior Vice President of IBI and Chairwoman of the LLDD, delivered speeches at the opening ceremony, and Gao Lei, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Urumqi Railway Logistics Center of China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd., issued an official departure instruction on the spot.

In the past, grapes and other kinds of fruits and agricultural products from Xinjiang were mostly shipped in small and multiple batches of road transportation, and after the secondary loading and unloading at the exit port, they were exported to overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, which were easily affected by weather and road conditions, with high transportation costs and unstable timeliness. Relying on the new model of "products collection from the origin + cold chain train", Xinjiang products have changed from the previous "scattered export" model to "group selling", reducing customs clearance time by nearly 30% and logistics and transportation costs by nearly 20%.

The first "Tianshan" cold chain digital train consists of 22 containers, based on the LLDD order drive and supply chain digital empowerment, integrating China Railway Special Cargo, Sinotrans and other high-quality resources. The opening of the train has the following important strategic significance: First, it has successfully opened up the "main artery" of Xinjiang fruit exports to Southeast Asia, effectively enabling "Xinjiang products to go out of Xinjiang". The second is to further collect the return goods, strive to achieve re-entry, reduce logistics costs, and ultimately promote two-way fruit import and export. The third is to realize the two-way digital connection of Xinjiang's fruit exports to Southeast Asia, laying the channel foundation and transaction and delivery guarantee for building the digital headquarters of the agricultural industry (Xinjiang). Fourth, once one chain has become a trend, one hundred chains will be automatically connected, and the construction of new channels has been solidly implemented.

Zeng Xiaohong, Member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy Commander of the 12th Army, said in his speech: "Based on the market operation foundation and cross-regional and field resource integration capabilities of Jiuding Agricultural Development Group, a state-owned enterprise of the 12th Army, we have given full play to the order collection capability, the cross-border operation practice of the industrial belt and the global digital supply chain service layout of LLDD of IBI, and combined with the superior resources of China Railway Special Cargo, Sinotrans and other parties, which has contributed to the launch of today's Urumqi-Bangkok Xinjiang products go out of Xinjiang "Tianshan" cold chain digital train. This is not only a concrete measure to implement the important speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping and the spirit of the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the 10th Plenary Session of the 10th Party Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the 7th Plenary Session of the 8th Party Committee of the XPCC and the 6th Plenary Session of the 5th Party Committee of the 12th Division, but also to strengthen foreign trade exchanges with RCEP, plan to build a "fruit and vegetable import and export platform for the XPCC block of China (Xinjiang) Pilot Free Trade Zone", build a "comprehensive logistics hub for fruits and vegetables and cold chain products in China", and accelerate the integration into the new land-sea corridor in the west. Accelerate the effective convergence of trade routes among ASEAN countries, and form a vivid practice of jointly building a new situation of high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative. ”

In his speech, Liu Zhai, Senior Vice President of IBI and Chairwoman of LLDD, said: "Xinjiang is rich in products, and in the past, due to the limitations of logistics infrastructure such as transportation distance, transportation capacity, and cold chain technology, the export of local, agricultural, and sideline products has been bumpy. As a leading industrial Internet platform in the agricultural sector, IBI’s Duoduo platforms have outstanding advantages in online ordering, and efficient delivery is an important part of the construction of the platform's digital supply chain service system. Since the beginning of this year, the company has vigorously expanded the third growth curve of cross-border e-commerce in the industrial belt, combined with the rapid advancement of the company's strategy of deep cultivation of Xinjiang and the operation strategy of the source economy, the export of agricultural products and the export of Xinjiang fruits have become an important direction of platform operation. The launch of the Tianshan will greatly improve the transportation efficiency from Xinjiang to the overseas markets of ASEAN, and will also provide important support for the improvement of the efficiency of the digital supply chain service of the Duoduo platform. ”
