CEVA Logistics inaugurated its new 4,300 square meter international road transport (TIR) center in Alashankou, China. The new center is set within the Cross-Border eCommerce Industrial Park of Alashankou’s Comprehensive Bonded Zone.
A further 1,000 square meters are dedicated to dangerous goods handling. The center is CEVA’s first TIR hub to consolidate inbound and outbound TIR road freight. Officials from Alashankou municipality attended the inauguration and joined CEVA in celebrating this landmark moment.
Bordering Kazakhstan and served by highways that funnel into Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe, Alashankou offers bonded-zone incentives, fast customs clearance and duty-free storage. Its policies are designed to accelerate eCommerce fulfilment and manufacturing clusters. CEVA will use the Center for LTL consolidation, allowing multiple shippers to share truck space and reduce costs. Compared to conventional road transport, the TIR model paired with the new center reduces transit time by nearly 30% and cuts costs by 15% on average.
The center will anchor a secure, fast and steady TIR network linking approximately 30 cities across 15 countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe.
Alashankou is no longer a checkpoint; it is a launchpad for Eurasian supply chains. By blending the simplicity of TIR with the city’s forward-looking policies, we give customers a faster and fully visible path end-to-end - said Kelvin Tang, Vice President of Ground & Rail, Greater China and Global Cross-Border & Multimodal Leader, CEVA Logistics.
