Russian Railways Logistics successfully organised the trial low temperature delivery of electronic goods from Chongqing, China, to Europe (Duisburg, Germany) in cooperation with YuXinOu (Chongqing) Logistics Co., Ltd., RZD Logistics joint venture, at the end of February. The cargo was shipped in insulated and refrigerated containers with integrated diesel generators to maintain optimum temperature.

According to Pavel Lagov, RZD Logistics Sales Director, the company analysed the diversity of transit cargo transported from China to Europe and developed the proposal aimed at minimising seasonal traffic fluctuations when delivering high-tech goods in winter due to low temperature. He is confident in the efficiency and the reliability of the service.
Delivery time on the transit route linking six countries, namely China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany, amounted to 16 days. Specialised container equipment allowed to maintain and to control cargo temperature throughout the journey and to deliver fully operational high-tech electronics.
