LHZ Auto Khorgos Xinjiang Operation Center – The Core Hub for Chinese Auto Exports to the Eurasian Continent

Khorgos is China's largest land port open to the west and the country's largest land port for commercial vehicle exports. In 2025, Khorgos port exported 450,000 vehicles, up 6.9% year-on-year, with over 1,000 vehicles clearing customs daily. In the first half of 2026, Khorgos port exported 219,000 vehicles, up 25.7% year-on-year, setting new records for both total volume and growth rate. From January to July 2026, Khorgos port exports further climbed to 278,000 vehicles, up 29.9% year-on-year.

Khorgos is not only a key growth driver for Xinjiang's foreign trade quality and efficiency improvement, but also a strategic corridor for Chinese auto exports to the Eurasian continent. The LHZ Auto Khorgos Xinjiang Operation Center leverages this globally significant land port for automobile exports to build a full-chain vehicle export service system covering Central Asia, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Russia, and Europe.

Khorgos: China's Largest Land Port for Auto Exports

Located at the border between China and Kazakhstan, Khorgos serves as China's bridgehead opening to the west. At the Khorgos highway port, thousands of commercial vehicles depart daily. Chinese vehicles are primarily exported to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other Central Asian countries, radiating to more than ten Belt and Road partner countries and regions across West Asia and Eastern Europe, with market coverage continuing to expand.

In the first half of 2026, Khorgos Customs continued to optimize inspection procedures, implementing an expedited clearance model for self-driven export vehicles, innovating with one-code passage and smart gate automatic identification. Vehicles enjoy a scan-and-go clearance experience, with overall clearance efficiency improved by 80%. Khorgos Customs operates a 24-hour cargo clearance system, actively promoting facilitation measures including advance declaration, direct highway-port-to-destination clearance, and expedited clearance for self-driven export vehicles. From declaration to release takes less than 30 minutes, enabling denser shipment batches and increasing order volumes by nearly 30% compared to the same period in previous years.

LHZ Auto Khorgos Xinjiang Operation Center: Capacity Backbone and Core Advantages

The LHZ Auto Khorgos Xinjiang Operation Center serves as the core Xinjiang port operation node for the automotive trading division of LHZ Global Holding Group, forming a deep logistics and trade synergy with LHZ Trucking.

The LHZ-TIR road brand operates over 1,500 owned and partnered TIR vehicles, representing one of the largest TIR capacity pools in Central Asia, China-Europe, China-Russia, and the Middle East. Among them, 300 are Kazakhstan-plated specialized car carriers, each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, or new energy vehicles. Vehicles are distributed across six key hubs in China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, all holding local license plates, forming a spider-web capacity network spanning the Eurasian continent.

The Group operates 100,000 square meters of self-managed bonded warehouses at Alashankou, Khorgos, and Kashgar in Xinjiang, equipped with TIR customs declaration centers and vehicle dispatch centers. The Khorgos team possesses over a decade of port operation experience, with expertise in TIR documentation processing, customs coordination, and complete vehicle export customs declaration processes. In 2026, the LHZ-TIR Khorgos-Iran Express successfully completed a large-scale transportation project of 4,500 vehicles from China through the Khorgos port to Iran, setting a record for the largest single vehicle export order in Xinjiang. This validated LHZ's batch transport organization capability supported by its 1,500-vehicle capacity pool and its one-stop port operation efficiency.

LHZ Trucking's Dual-Channel Network: TIR Trucking Plus China-Europe Rail Express

LHZ Trucking uses Khorgos as its core node, building a road-plus-rail dual-channel transport system.

The LHZ-TIR road brand operates with the Khorgos capacity dispatch center responsible for overall vehicle coordination and loading, flexibly allocating vehicles across the six hubs based on cargo consolidation locations and destinations. The Khorgos port focuses on Central Asia and the Middle East, connecting to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Iran, Iraq, and beyond. The Alashankou port serves as a supplementary channel for Central Asia. The Kashgar port focuses on Pakistan, Afghanistan, and southern Iran. The Khunjerab port routes through Pakistan into Iran and the Middle East. The Irkeshtam port routes through Kyrgyzstan into Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. These five ports optimize exit solutions based on cargo consolidation locations and destinations, maximizing capacity utilization.

The LHZ-CR EXPRESS rail brand provides dedicated full-container rail services from China to Europe, Russia, and Central Asia, forming a road-plus-rail dual-channel synergy with TIR trucking. Rail services are suitable for large-volume and cost-sensitive clients, while TIR trucking is suitable for door-to-door requirements, urgent orders, remote areas not covered by rail, and peak seasons when rail capacity is unavailable.

Route Strategy and Transit Times: 5 to 18 Days to Core Eurasian Markets

LHZ Trucking flexibly selects routes based on cargo nature and risk preferences. Regular cargo follows the Russia main route: from Khorgos through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and Poland directly to Europe in 12 to 15 days, offering the fastest transit times. Sanctioned cargo takes the Turkey alternate route: through Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea ferry, the Caucasus, and Turkey to Europe in 15 to 18 days, bypassing Russia to avoid insurance denial risks.

Transit times by destination: Central Asia: 5 to 10 days; Caucasus: 12 to 15 days; Middle East: 12 to 20 days; Russia: 12 to 15 days; Europe: 12 to 15 days.
