Pengfei · China Railway || Signs Strategic Cooperation Agreement

 

On the 5th, Shanxi Pengfei Group Co., Ltd. signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Jiexiu Railway Operations Section of China Railway Taiyuan Bureau Group Co., Ltd. As a result, 5 million tons of coking coal from Pengfei Group will shift from road to rail transport. This strategic partnership not only marks the first instance in Lüliang City of coking coal being transported by rail instead of road, but also represents the city’s initial achievement in 2020 in winning the tough battle against pollution, adjusting the transport structure, and vigorously promoting the “road-to-rail” transition.

Sun Yansheng, Deputy General Manager of the Taiyuan Railway Bureau, and Wang Yong, Vice Mayor of Xiaoyi Municipal Government, attended the signing ceremony. Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President of Pengfei Group, Yan Delong, Director of the Jiexiu Railway Section, and the Party Secretary of the Jiexiu Railway Section, among other leaders, also took part in the event.

 

In his address, Chairman Zheng Peng, on behalf of the Lüliang Private Entrepreneurs Federation, the Lüliang Coking Industry Association, and Pengfei Group, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Taiyuan Bureau and the leaders of the Xiaoyi Municipal Government for their proactive response to the CPC Central Committee’s call to “balance epidemic control with production” and for their willingness to visit enterprises during this extraordinary period.

It was noted that the signing of this strategic cooperation agreement marks the first instance in Lüliang City of coke produced locally being transported by rail instead of road, and underscores the effective implementation by the Jieshou Railway Operations Section of China Railway Taiyuan Group and the Party Committee and Government of Xiaoyi City of the central government’s policy decision to shift freight transport from road to rail.

In his address, Yan Delong, Head of the Jiexiu Railway Operations Section, stated that the formal signing of an agreement between the Jiexiu Railway Operations Section and Pengfei Group in Xiaoyi City—known for its emphasis on filial piety and righteousness—marks a new milestone in their cooperative model, one characterized by complementary strengths, resource sharing, mutual benefit and trust, and joint development.

Vice Mayor Wang Yong outlined Xiaoyi’s industrial capacity and noted that rail transport currently accounts for only 20% of the city’s total freight volume, expressing confidence that there is significant room for further development of rail logistics in Xiaoyi. He also stated that the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will do their utmost to support the Taiyuan Railway Bureau, the Jiexiu Railway Operations Section, and Pengfei Group in meeting all their operational needs in Xiaoyi, striving to build a world-class service-oriented government that delivers value to businesses and the railway bureau.

Sun Yansheng, Deputy General Manager of the Taiyuan Railway Bureau, outlined the bureau’s achievements in recent years in optimizing its network layout, expanding transport capacity, and enhancing service quality. He noted that the pandemic has further accelerated the bureau’s progress, with Pengfei lighting the way for Xiaoyi City’s transition from road to rail. The bureau looks forward to strengthening cooperation with Xiaoyi City, using Pengfei as a catalyst and maintaining the momentum of its rapid development to advance Xiaoyi’s efforts to become a national model city in shifting freight transport from road to rail.
