Almost 200 YTO tractors have been shipped to Central Asia from the Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Land Port on the Dongfanghong special train. This marks the largest shipment of YTO tractors on a Central Asia-bound train this year.

The freight train, with goods weighing over 850 tons and valued at more than $3 million, carried a cargo of 90% YTO tractors and 10% locally-produced refractory products. After leaving the port of Horgos on the border with Kazakhstan, the goods will be delivered to various Central Asian countries.
Leveraging the "Belt and Road" international freight network, YTO tractors benefit from reduced delivery times. The tractors are transported directly from the production line to the Dongfanghong International Land Port, where container adjustment, packing reinforcement, and loading are completed seamlessly. This one-stop logistics service lowers transportation costs, minimizes cargo damage, and has earned widespread praise from Central Asian customers.
In recent years, YTO tractors have maintained steady sales growth in Central Asian markets. Featuring advanced technology and tailored designs, the tractors offer:
- Heating and cooling air-conditioned cabs for year-round operation;
- Original YTO engines with high torque reserves and strong power;
- Multiple gear options for improved efficiency and reduced labor intensity;
- High durability, energy efficiency, and productivity to support modern agricultural practices.
Luoyang's refractory products remain a key component of Central Asia-bound freight. Since the launch of the Dongfanghong International Land Port, nearly every train has included shipments of these products, further supporting local businesses.
