国家铁路在动力锂电池运输领域取得重大进展。[1]中铁特货物流股份有限公司先后贯通西南至华东、东南至西南两条跨区域物流大通道，累计发运9个专用箱、总重约180吨。[1]其中，四川宜宾至上海金山卫线路于7月12日首发，福建宁德至四川成都线路于7月28日接续发运。[1]此举标志着动力锂电池铁路运输从试点向常态化运营迈进。[1]
此次试运采用专用集装箱和多重安全防护措施，在复杂地质气候条件下平稳运行。[1]两条线路横跨地震活跃带、高温高湿区域及沿海台风影响区，期间经历多次4级以下地震、38℃高温及强降雨天气。[1]宁德时代相关负责人表示，中铁特货的安全管控水平超出企业预期。[1]
从经济效益看，运距超过800公里、年运量超过5万吨的铁路线路相比公路运输，成本可降低30%以上。[1]
China's national railway has reached a major milestone in lithium battery transportation, with China Railway Special Cargo Logistics Co., Ltd. establishing normalized operations across multiple routes. The company has successfully established two cross-regional logistics corridors connecting southwest to east China and southeast to southwest regions, with a cumulative shipment of nine specialized containers weighing approximately 180 tons total. [1]
The operations commenced on July 12 with an initial shipment from Yibin, Sichuan to Shanghai's Jinshan Terminal, followed by consecutive shipments beginning July 28 from Ningde, Fujian to Chengdu, Sichuan. [1] The transportation employs specialized containers and multiple layers of safety protection measures, enabling smooth operations under challenging geological and climatic conditions. The two routes traverse earthquake-active zones, high-temperature and high-humidity regions, and areas affected by coastal typhoons, having endured multiple earthquakes below magnitude 4, temperatures reaching 38 degrees Celsius, and heavy rainfall throughout operations. [1] This transition from pilot programs to normalized railway operations marks a significant advancement in the logistics of power battery transportation.
For routes exceeding 800 kilometers with annual transport volumes surpassing 50,000 tons, rail transport achieves cost reductions of over 30 percent compared to road transportation. [1] A responsible representative from CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited) stated that China Railway Special Cargo's safety management level exceeded the company's expectations. [1]
