Following the China-Russia routes to Moscow and St. Petersburg, Qingdao West Coast Lida International Logistics has announced the launch of the Qingdao-Yekaterinburg TIR direct express line, with three scheduled departures per week, covering the 9,000-kilometer journey in just eight days. This route primarily serves time-sensitive goods such as automotive parts, machinery, and electronic products, filling a logistics gap between Shandong and Russia's Ural industrial region.

Yekaterinburg, Russia's third-largest city, is a hub for the Trans-Siberian Railway and the Eurasian Highway. The opening of this new line seamlessly combines the container throughput advantages of Qingdao Port with Yekaterinburg's inland distribution capabilities. Through the "inland port direct loading + coastal port direct pickup" model, customers can seamlessly connect "factory shipment - port loading - overseas delivery," reducing domestic transportation costs by over 20%.
