In the near future, more trucks bearing the TIR sign from Central China's Henan province will be seen in the Belt and Road countries. On the morning of February 22, carrying 20 tons of cargo, a number of trucks operated by China Gate Trucking Express departed Zhengzhou city, capital of Henan, for Russia via the Bakhty Port in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, marking the successful launch of the distribution center of China Gate Trucking Express in Zhengzhou.

Aiming to transport cargo from China to other countries around the world by large trucks, the trucking express service has become a new type of freight service after air, sea and rail, and is regarded as the "fourth logistics channel". TIR or Transports Internationaux Routiers is a global customs transit system for moving goods across international borders based on the United Nations TIR Convention. Approved vehicles with TIR permits can enjoy simplified customs clearance services in all TIR countries.
"Loaded with general merchandise and auto parts made in Henan and its neighboring provinces, these trucks will enjoy simplified customs clearance services and reach Russia directly without cargo unloading or reshipping." According to Li Shaobin, president of China Gate Logistics Co., Ltd., the distribution center of China Gate Trucking Express in Zhengzhou will provide more services to foreign trade enterprises in Henan and other places across China, ensure smooth international logistics channel, support the construction of the "Land Silk Road", coordinate the development of the "Online Silk Road", and promote high-quality made-in-Henan and made-in-China products to go global.
