In the beginning of October, the Jinhua Municipal Development and Reform Commission announced that Mid-Zhejiang Multimodal Transport Park has been approved as a national demonstration logistics park by the National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Natural Resources in the third batch of listings.

At the end of 2018, Jinhua was approved as a national logistics hub focusing on service-oriented manufacturing, and Yiwu was approved as a national logistics hub for service-oriented commerce and trade. The Mid-Zhejiang Multimodal Transport Park is key in the course of building a national logistics hub. It is also part of the Zhejiang Free Trade Zone and the Yiwu International Trade Comprehensive Reform Pilot Zone.

At present, the Mid-Zhejiang Multimodal Transport Park has generated a variety of subdivisions such as international freight, cross-border e-commerce, supply chain services, cold chain logistics, and more. Since the beginning of this year, the park has operated 496 China-Europe Express trains carrying a total of 41,042 TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 95%.
