Two international trains are dispatched in succession!
Recently, good news came from Horgos Port. Two Central Asian trains loaded with 140 YTO tractors arrived one after another and will be delivered to users in five Central Asian countries. YTO tractors have achieved steady sales growth on the Central Asian trains.
When the “Belt and Road” initiative is heavily spread on the canvas of world economic development, deepening its market along the route has also become the primary prerequisite for China First Tractor to “go further”.
With the strong support of SINOMACH, China First Tractor plans to build the Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Land Port based on the stock resources of the First Tractor Railway marshaling yard. The land port is also the main bearing area of Luoyang’s production service-oriented national logistics hub. Since its official departure in November 2017, the Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Land Port has successively launched international freight trains in Central Asia, China Europe, China Laos and railway-sea combined transport container trains. As of March 2025, a total of 1,795 container freight trains have been launched, driving the export of agricultural machinery, refractory materials, motorcycles and office furniture, and continuously injecting logistics momentum into the international market for “Made in Henan”. It has been listed by the National Development and Reform Commission as a successful example of trains entering factories.
According to the staff of China First Tractor, YTO tractors travel along the “Belt and Road” by international trains, greatly shortening the delivery time. After the tractor is off the production line, it is directly handed over to the Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Land Port in the factory, and a one-stop service of box adjustment, box reinforcement, loading and shipment is carried out in the port area. The transportation not only saves transportation costs, but also can avoid cargo damage in the process of changing the mode of transportation to the greatest extent, which is welcomed by users from various countries. This time, users from the five Central Asian countries specifically requested the use of international trains for transportation and asked to start the train in early May.
After receiving the customer’s order, China First Tractor International Trade Company, Datuo Company and Logistics Company worked closely together to arrange order production and container packing in an orderly manner; at the same time, the off-line tractor was inspected and accepted many times according to the customer’s requirements. In early May, this batch of YTO tractors was shipped smoothly.
In addition to this batch of tractors, 20 crawler tractors ordered by Central Asian users are also being produced at a rapid pace and are expected to be delivered to users in early June. This type of crawler tractor is a new generation of crawler tractors independently developed by China First Tractor. It is comfortable to operate and has multiple uses. It can be widely used in bulldozing, dry fields, paddy fields and other operations, and has a high cost-effectiveness. China First Tractor will promote the delivery of orders in an orderly manner, so that more overseas users can feel the unique charm of Made in China.
