CEVA Logistics opens automated distribution centre in China

CEVA Logistics APAC Ground & Rail Leader Kelvin Tang said, “Alashankou is a strategic gateway along the China–Central Asia–Caucasus Region–Europe corridor. In 2025, total throughput across Alashankou exceeded 29 million tonnes, with ground volumes up 8.6% year on year.

“With our Alashankou logistics hub now operational, we are well positioned to meet rising demand and advance our sustainability commitments through innovative, lower carbon cross-border solutions.”

Alashankou Vice Mayor Wei Wei said, “The official launch of CEVA’s Alashankou hub represents a strong recognition of the city’s strategic location as a key port of entry, open trade platforms, and business-friendly environment.

“The facility will further enhance cross-border logistics capabilities, drive broader industry growth, deepen connectivity across Asia–Europe trade corridors, and further strengthen Alashankou’s role as a key international logistics gateway.”

The facility also powers CEVA’s newly optimised cross-border LTL solution, which connects Shenzhen and Suzhou, China, to Tashkent, Uzbekistan, for small and medium cargo volumes.

Lenovo is among the key customers leveraging the new facility, with CEVA managing regular transport flows between China and Kazakhstan.

CEVA has also begun deploying heavy-duty electric trucks to collect cargo from various Chinese manufacturing plants for consolidation at the Alashankou facility before crossing into Kazakhstan. This sustainable logistics model is estimated to reduce CO₂ emissions by 46% compared with traditional solutions.

During the opening event, CEVA was honoured by the local government with the ‘Silk Road Innovation International Cross-border Logistics Excellence Award’. This recognition highlights CEVA’s long-term commitment to the local market and our reputation for delivering responsive, high-quality logistics solutions.
