“东盟班车”重庆出发 跑遍湄公河五国

贺煜

重庆市巴南区依托重庆公路物流基地（以下简称“物流基地”），抢抓与湄公河五国合作机遇，开创重庆—东盟公路班车（以下简称“东盟班车”），打造了一条贯通澜湄国家的经贸通道。

经历近4年的发展，物流基地与湄公河国家的通道从隔绝到互通，已形成6条常态化运营线路;经贸合作从间接到直接，贸易规模从小到大，逐渐形成了贸易与投资相互促进的良好格局。

东盟班车形成重庆与湄公河五国地区定点运输

重庆公路物流基地于2009年7月设立，是全市承接公路、铁路、水路多式联运的重要平台和建设“陆海新通道”的重要载体。

2016年3月澜湄合作机制启动，巴南区于同年4月28日，首发重庆面向东盟国家的国际公路班车—东盟班车，10辆满载汽摩配件、电子产品、建材等货物的集装箱卡车由物流基地驶向越南。由此拉开了建设物流基地与湄公河五国经贸通道的序幕。

目前，东盟班车已成为重庆与湄公河五国经贸往来的重要载体，可依据客户的要求提供定制化的物流服务，形成重庆与湄公河国家地区定点运输，返程可实现湄公河国家的水果、粮油、木材等产品通过东盟班车快速运抵重庆，再辐射中西部地区;去程可实现国内的机电、建材、汽摩等货物通过东盟班车快速运抵湄公河国家目的地。

6条常态化运营线路实现对湄公河五国的跨境公路运输全覆盖

截至目前，巴南区与湄公河五国的经贸通道已开通6条常态化运营线路，分别为东线、东复线、中线、西线、亚欧线以及重庆—新加坡线。

东线：重庆南彭—广西凭祥或龙邦—越南河内—越南胡志明—柬埔寨金边

东复线：重庆南彭—广西钦州港—柬埔寨—新加坡

中线：重庆南彭—云南磨憨—老挝万象—泰国曼谷

西线：重庆南彭—云南瑞丽—缅甸仰光

亚欧线：欧洲—重庆团结村—重庆南彭—越南

重庆—新加坡线：重庆南彭—广西凭祥—越南—老挝—泰国—马来西亚—新加坡

目前已构建起以跨境公路运输为主，公铁（与中欧班列衔接）与陆海（与钦州港衔接）为辅的多式联运国际物流体系，实现了对湄公河五国跨境公路运输的全覆盖。

发车频率稳步向好形成双向贸易物流态势

截至2019年12月31日，东盟班车共计发车2100车次，吞吐量约4600TEU（标准集装箱），总重约2.5万吨，总货值约14.7亿元。其中2019年发车1200车次，吞吐量约2600TEU，同比增长100%。目前已实现平均每天4班的发车频率，且增长态势良好。

东盟班车货源已从市内扩充到市外，从西南地区扩充到华中、华东、华南地区，主要来自重庆、四川、陕西、江西、江苏、浙江等地，其中重庆市内占比约72%，市外占比约28%，出口到湄公河五国占比约95%。出口货物主要有笔电产品、农机摩配、服装及加工原材料等，进口货物主要有湄公河五国的农副产品、工艺品、日化品等，涉及服务境内外企业100余家。已在湄公河五国一二线城市合作设立海外分拨中心20余个。湄公河五国目的地主要有越南河内、胡志明，老挝万象，柬埔寨金边，泰国曼谷等地。

合作前景良好深化交流访问 扩大对外投资

得益于经贸通道不断拓展，巴南区与湄公河五国的经贸合作不断深入，交流访问也日趋频繁，合作前景大好。

2016年5月4日，由公共工程及運输部部长本赞·辛塔翁等人组成的老挝亚信国际代表团一行调研物流基地。巴南区与老挝有关方面签署《合作备忘录》，备忘录约定：老挝提供物流开发的政策和现有情况等信息;双方探索物流园开发合作。

2018年5月16日，泰国曼谷市政府第32届专业培训项目代表团一行到巴南区考察，并就如何参与共建“重庆东盟南向国际物流大通道”展开深入交流。

2018年8月23日，老挝副总理宋迪·隆迪考察物流基地。详细了解物流基地的发展情况后，宋迪·隆迪表示希望老挝加强与物流基地合作，促进双方经贸往来。

2019年5月17日，老挝乌多姆赛省投资计划厅长昂高一行调研物流基地。昂高表示，希望将老挝的水果、木制品、石制品等销往重庆，双方表示可通过东盟班车进行合作，以促进双方的经贸往来。10月15日，老挝乌多姆赛省副省长潘亚沙·宋吉参加了第四届中国商用车博览会并访问巴南区，双方表示希望发挥各自优势，在畜牧业、物流业等方面开展合作。

巴南区企业在越南投资设立了力帆—吉力摩托车部品制造联营公司、力帆—川渝精工摩托车部品制造联营公司、宗申越南发动机制造有限公司、越南吉力电器有限公司，在泰国投资设立了宗申（泰国）机械制造有限公司。

巴南区将强化贸易通道建设，强化开放平台，进一步加深与湄公河五国合作交往的深度和广度，以实现共同发展。

On March 23， 2016， the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation （LMC） mechanism was officially launched. Banan District of Chongqing， by relying on Chongqing Highway Logistics Base （hereinafter referred to as "Logistics Base"）， seized the opportunity of cooperation with the five Mekong countries and initiated ASEAN Regular Lorry to establish direct economic and trade links with Mekong countries.

After almost four years of development， the logistics base is now connected with Mekong countries through 6 regular lorry routes， offering direct access for two-way trade and contributing to growing trade and mutual investment.

ASEAN Regular Lorry

fixed point transportation between Chongqing and Mekong countries

Chongqing Highway Logistics Base was established in July 2009. It is for multimodal transportation of highways， railways and waterways in Chongqing and an important platform for the development of New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor （NILSTC）.

After the LMC mechanism was launched， Banan District started the ASEAN Regular Lorry， Chongqings first international highway lorry route to ASEAN countries， on April 28 in the same year. Ten container lorries loaded with auto parts， electronic products， building materials and other goods were transported from the Logistics Base to Vietnam. This began the growth of economic and trade channels between the Logistics Base and Mekong countries.

At present， the ASEAN Regular Lorry has become an important platform for economic and trade exchanges between Chongqing and Mekong countries. It offers customized logistics services tailored to the needs of its customers， providing "fixed point" transportation between Chongqing and Mekong countries. On one hand， agricultural products， fruits， grains， oil， timber and other products from Mekong countries can be quickly transported to Chongqing through the ASEAN Regular Lorry and then sold to the central and western China. On the other hand， domestic goods in China such as machinery products， building materials， automobiles and motorcycles can also be efficiently transported to Mekong countries via the ASEAN Regular Lorry.

6 Regular routes in operation

Accessible to all five Mekong countries through cross-border highway transport

Up to now， Ba'nan District and the five Mekong countries have opened six regular lorry routes， namely， the eastern route， the 2nd eastern route， the central route， the western route， the Asia-Europe route and the Chongqing-Singapore route.

Eastern route： Chongqing Nanpeng—Guangxi Pingxiang or Long Bang—Hanoi， Vietnam—Ho Chi Minh， Vietnam—Phnom Penh， Cambodia

2nd eastern route： Chongqing Nanpeng—Guangxi Qinzhou Port—Cambodia—Singapore

Central route： Chongqing Nanpeng—Yunnan Mohan—Vientiane， Laos—Bangkok， Thailand

Western route： Chongqing Nanpeng—Yunnan Ruili—Yangon， Myanmar

Asia-Europe route （roundtrip）： Europe—Chongqing Tuanjiecun—Chongqing Nanpeng—Vietnam

Chongqing-Singapore route： Chongqing Nanpeng—Guangxi Pingxiang—Vietnam—Laos—Thailand—Malaysia—Singapore

At present， cross-border road transportation， complemented by  highway-railway combined transport （connecting to China-Europe trains） and land-sea transport （connecting to Qinzhou Port）， has formed an international multi-modal logistics system， accessible to all five Mekong countries.

Operation frequency of ASEAN Regular Lorry grows steadily

Two-way trade and transport is taking shape

By December 31， 2019， 2100 ASEAN Regular Lorries transporting goods of 4600 TEUs， 25，000 tons and 1.47 billion yuan value， has been operated in total. Among them， 1，200 Lorries were operated in 2019， transporting about 2600 TEUs of goods， up 100% year-on-year. At present， 4 Lorries are operated per day on average and the frequency of its operation is still growing steadily.

Cargo from not only Chongqing， but also southwestern， middle， eastern and southern China， mainly from Chongqing， Sichuan， Shanxi， Jiangxi， Jiangsu and Zhejiang， are now transported through the ASEAN Regular Lorry， with 72% of the cargo coming from Chongqing， 28% from outside Chongqing and 95% are exported to Mekong countries. Exports mainly include laptops， agricultural machinery accessories， clothing and processed raw materials， while imports mainly include agricultural and sideline products， handicrafts， household chemicals from Mekong countries， serving over 100 domestic and overseas enterprises. More than 20 overseas distribution centers have been established in the first- and second-tier cities in Mekong countries. The destinations in Mekong countries include Hanoi， Ho Chi Minh， Vientiane， Phnom Penh， and Bangkok.

Promising prospect for mutual cooperation with deepened exchanges and expanded outbound investment

Thanks to the continuous expansion of economic and trade channels， the cooperation between Banan District and Mekong countries has been deepening， and exchanges and visits have also become more frequent， pointing to a promising prospect for mutual cooperation.

On May 4， 2016， a delegation headed by Laos Minister of Public Works and Transport visited the Logistics Base. Banan District and its Laotian partner signed a Memorandum of Cooperation， which states that the Laotian side will provide information about its logistics development and relevant policies to Banan and the two sides will explore cooperation in the development of logistics park.

On May 16， 2018， a delegation from the 32nd professional training program of Bangkok Municipal Government visited Banan District and held in-depth exchanges on how to jointly develop "Chongqing-ASEAN Southward International Logistics Corridor".

On August 23， 2018， Lao Deputy Prime Minister Somdy Duangdy paid a visit to the Logistics Base. After hearing the briefing about the Base， Somdy Duangdy expressed the wish for Laos to strengthen cooperation with the Logistics Base and promote economic and trade exchanges between the two sides.

On May 17， 2019， Director-general of Investment Planning of Oudomxay Province of Laos and his delegation visited the Logistics Base. He expressed the wish to sell fruits， wood products and stone products from Laos to Chongqing. The two sides agreed that they could cooperate through ASEAN Regular Lorry to promote economic and trade exchanges between the two sides. On October 15， Oudomxay Deputy Governor attended the 4th China Commercial Vehicle Expo and visited Banan District.
