As of now passing through Russia, for most trucks not registered in the Eurasian Economic Union, is likely hard, making a Europe-to-China transport by the Caspian Sea, from Azerbaijan, necessary if avoiding travel through Russia or Iran is the objective (Russia due diplomatic relations with that country and most NATO member states as frosty as during post-Soviet times they've ever been after last year's military invasion of Ukraine).

Good to see Dutch! number plates on trucks from this Dutch company. However I always see fereign plates at their other trucks.

Not sure why this is considered a milestone. There are numerous trucks crossing the China/Pak border, and we already had trucks plying the Europe to Pakistan route in the 1970s.

So we have to save co2 by using rail efficiently and now it's getting roasted by road transport...

12 days? Hah, in our company our management gives 5 days to reach Minsk from China (Dostyk border post). That's 1300 km per day
