• Right now, there’ll be 1 train per week, this will increase to 1 train per day.

• The transit time of cargo and goods in a container train is 1/3 of the time of the ship.

• With the launch of this train route, the 1st phase of the China-Iran-Europe east-west corridor was implemented. We can soon expect Iran to become a major railway hub connecting the east with the west.
