The China-Europe Railway Express, or China Railway Express (CRE), is key logistical cog in President Xi Jinping’s Belt and Road Initiative. It provides an alternative to container shipping for transporting Chinese manufactured goods to Europe via Russia.

The construction of warehouses of 100 thousand square meters for «Khovrino» container terminal will cost 5 billion RUB. It is one of three logistics centers which should free up other sites in Moscow for railway cargo transshipment.
