The 9th China-Eurasia Expo in Urumqi, Xinjiang, featured new green development and high-tech zones, showcasing low-carbon energy, electric locomotives, and zero-emission construction equipment. Organizers aim for carbon neutrality through reusable facilities and carbon offset mechanisms, setting a benchmark for sustainable large-scale exhibitions. Chinese rail supplier CRRC unveiled its VELFORCE locomotive series with hybrid, battery, and hydrogen fuel cell options. The hybrid model cuts nitrogen oxide emissions by 45% and saves over 370 tonnes of CO2 per unit annually. TBEA, a power equipment maker, highlighted solar projects in Kyrgyzstan, signaling growing cross-border clean energy deployment in Central Asia. China's trade with Central Asian countries hit a record $106.3 billion in 2025, up 12% year-on-year, driven by green energy equipment and high-tech exports. The China-Europe Railway Express now links 129 Chinese cities with over 330 cities across 37 countries, carrying more solar panels, EVs, and smart devices.
