China-Vietnam international road transport route officially launched on Wednesday, marking a further step in enhancing cross-border transport connectivity between the two countries, according to Xinhua News Agency.
On Wednesday morning, a fleet of trucks carrying electronic components, fresh vegetables, and daily goods departed simultaneously from Nanning, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Kunming, Southwest China’s Yunnan Province to Hanoi, Vietnam. It marks the first time Chinese cargo vehicles entered Vietnam’s interior areas under the Greater Mekong Subregion Cross-Border Transport Facilitating Agreement (GMS-CBTA). The two transport routes connect China to Hanoi via the Hekou and Youyiguan border ports, according to Xinhua.
The direct transport adopts a "single-container, single-vehicle" model—ensuring goods remain in the same container and on the same truck throughout the journey—fully leveraging the advantages of road freight such as point-to-point delivery, high efficiency, and low cargo turnover. Compared to traditional methods, each truck saves about one day in transit and cuts costs by 800 to 1,000 yuan ($110 to 140). The improved efficiency marks further progress in facilitating China-Vietnam cross-border road transport, according to Xinhua.
