Beyond China's world-famous high-speed rail, there's another side to its trains:
This is the "village slow trains" (公益慢火车) winds through remote mountains in Guizhou.
Farmers casually bring goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, fruits, and vegetables on board to sell in town.
Lowest ticket: just 2 yuan (~$0.28). No extra charge for livestock.
81 pairs still run nationwide, mainly -a public welfare lifeline for rural communities.
The growth of electric trucks in China 🇨🇳 is mindboggling.
Electric trucks incredibly reached 29% of the market in China in 2029. In Europe we are still at 2%.
China sold 231 000 new energy heavy vehicles in 2025 - an increase of 182%.
This wonderful developments in China are driven by government mandates and by the new battery swopping technology. It takes five minutes to swop batteries. Electric trucks are also substantially cheaper to run than diesel trucks.
Many electric trucks are driverless. Autonomous trucks are particularlly useful in mines and at closed factory sites.
If Western car makers dont wake up, they unfortunately have good reason to be scared as hell.
