Ceva opens China TIR centre

[ July 22, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

Ceva Logistics has opened an International Road Transport (TIR) Centre in Alashankou, China. The 4,300 square meter site is its first TIR hub to consolidate inbound and outbound TIR road freight and is expected to reduce transit time by nearly 30% and cut costs by 15%.

It is located in the Cross-Border eCommerce Industrial Park of Alashankou’s Comprehensive Bonded Zone. A further 1,000 square meters are dedicated to dangerous goods handling.

Bordering Kazakhstan and served by highways that funnel into Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe, Alashankou offers bonded-zone incentives, fast customs clearance and duty-free storage and is designed to accelerate eCommerce fulfilment and manufacturing clusters. CEVA will use the Center for LTL consolidation, allowing multiple shippers to share truck space and reduce costs.

The centre will also be at the hub of a TIR network linking 30 cities across 15 countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Europe.
