The Eurasian Rail Alliance Index (ERAI) was introduced for the first time exactly a year ago, at PRO//Dvizhenie.1520 Transport Logistics Forum in Sochi. It is a unique instrument that allows any market player to decide on the delivery mode by assessing the cost of transportation via the longest leg of the Trans-Eurasian Route.

In the first half of 2022, 307,200 TEUs were transported along the China — Europe — China Eurasian railway route, which is 8.7% less than in the same period in 2021.
