今年4月，阿拉山口鐵路口岸進口集裝箱6.8萬噸，同比增長39.5%。分析原因，除中國鐵路總公司鼓勵集裝箱大發展外，另一個原因就是隨著中歐班列加大開行密度，返程貨源也逐漸進入常態化運營，從而帶動該口岸集裝箱進口量。

西班牙馬德里當地時間5月18日，滿載60個標準集裝箱西班牙紅酒的貨運專列緩緩開出，預計將于20天后到達義烏火車西站，車上西班牙特產將銷往浙江和國內各地。

此前，2014年8月，“渝新歐”首趟原裝汽車整車進口班列順利抵達重慶鐵路口岸，開創了中國內陸鐵路口岸進口整車的先河。

據悉，2014年，中國鐵路總公司加快構建中歐鐵路大通道，全年共開行中歐班列308列，發送集裝箱26070標準箱，較上年同期多開228列，增長285%，促進了中歐沿線各國間經貿交流發展。鐵路總公司稱，2015年，以進口汽車、機械設備、化工品、農副產品等為重點，開發回程貨源，降低全程物流成本。（中國進出口網）
