Silk Road: Uzbekistan - News and Events
The first ever commercial truck caravan arrived in Brussels today, effectively reopening the ancient Silk Road to meet the growing business need of the European, Asian and American economies for viable transport alternatives in light of stifling congestion at Chinese ports and dramatically increasing maritime freight rates.
Brussels - Today, the pioneering truck Caravan travelling under the slogan, "From Beijing to Brussels, road transport drives progress", completed its historic 12'000 km journey that started in Beijing on 27 September during the 3rd IRU Euro-Asian Road Transport Conference on "Road Transport bridging Asia and Europe".
IRU President Paul Laeremans said: "IRU's relentless efforts over the years to bring down barriers to international road transport have now allowed the realisation of this truly historic initiative that has reopened the famous Silk Road! It has proven that freight can be efficiently transported from China to CIS countries and further to the EU within just one-third of the time it would take by sea! This caravan demonstrates that road transport, in an increasingly competitive globalised world economy, is no longer just a means of carriage, but rather an irreplaceable production tool for all companies and economies."
