Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ) sent the first trans-Caspian China-Europe train from Jiaozhou, in eastern China, to the port of Koper, in Slovenia. The convoy, loaded with new electric vehicles, covered the 13,000-kilometre route in 45 days. This was the first time that this route was tested,

The train left Jiaozhou and crossed the north of China entering Kazakhstan via the Khorgos border crossing and then reached Altynkol. From there, the cargo was moved on the Caspian Sea and sent to the port of Poti, in Georgia. There, the load was moved back on the rail and reached the Slovenian port via Turkey.
