4,300-square-meter logistics hub expands CEVA’s capacity on China-Central Asia-Caucasus-Europe ground transport corridor
• Highly automated facility serves as consolidation point for LTL shipments, integrated TIR solutions
ALASHANKOU, China – May 19, 2026 – CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, has officially inaugurated its new automated distribution center in Alashankou, China, marking a significant expansion of its China–Central Asia–Caucasus–Europe corridor. The 4,300-square-meter facility is now fully operational, serving as a high-tech consolidation point for Less-than-Truckload (LTL) shipments and integrated International Road Transport (TIR) solutions. CEVA Logistics customers and local government representatives joined CEVA to mark the opening of the new operations.
Located within the Alashankou Free Trade Zone, the facility is situated in Northwest China just 15 minutes from the Kazakhstan-China border. By leveraging streamlined local customs procedures, CEVA can complete cargo consolidation and onward transit within as little as 6 to 12 hours. This speed allows for the efficient movement of goods from Chinese manufacturing centers directly into the heart of Central Asia.
To ensure peak operational efficiency, the distribution center integrates a sophisticated Warehouse Management System (WMS) with RFID and AI-based measurement technologies. The site utilizes electric autonomous forklifts to manage highly automated inbound and outbound flows, while a centralized control platform synchronizes order management with real-time customs status. For end-to-end traceability, all trucks are equipped with GPS and IoT sensors, providing customers with full visibility for cross-border shipments. (....)
