高新区建重庆最大五金机电市场

作为全国重要五金机电生产基地，重庆的五金机电市场交易总量尽管早已超过百亿，但规模却迟迟没有做大。如今，这一局面有望被改写。日前，高新区管委会帮扶辖区赣江国际五金机电采购中心项目提速建设，该项目一期有望于明年上半年正式开业。采购中心项目投产后，年交易额至少500亿元，力争实现1000亿元，将再造一个重庆五金机电市场。。

According to Chongqing Economic and Informatization Commission (Chongqing Logistics Offi ce), in 2014, the backhaul train of Chongqing-Xinjang-Europe Railway will run at regular intervals. At fi rst, it is scheduled once a month, and later on once a week. Next, the value-added potential of the line will be further pinpointed. By increasing the stable running frequency of backhaul trains and adding more upscale European consumption goods, equipment and electronic products to the backhaul cargo, Chongqing can become a distribution center for European goods with lower shipment cost, and more international logistics giants can share the development results of the line.

It is learnt that the backhaul trains adopted uniform document for the fi rst time, thus reduced the document transfer between Poland and Belarus and improved the operation efficiency. China Post Group will also use the line to send international mails (parcels) by batches, set up international distribution centers of mails (parcels) in Chongqing and Europe and carry mails to Europe and back to China. Countries and regions reaching out by the line are fastest growing areas of trans-boundary E-commerce in the world.
