The Kazhak road transport association is preparing world first road transports from Berlin to Beijing!
I have no more details than that… If any one could help!
Just read on the Globetrucker site that they are hoping to go to China later this year but nothing is confirmed as yet. They’ve been to Mongolia twice and as far as Vladivostock in Russia so anything is possible !
I’ll Keep visiting the site for future updates.
Jan De Rooy used to drive Philipps goods to China and then sell the vehicles and fly the drivers home.
I´m not sure but I think it had something to do with funny laws about getting European vehicles back out of China.

i’d beg to differ, pretty darn sure they didn’t ever do that mate
Differ if you like mate the information came from more than driver who did the job.

Dont they make Phillips goods in China? 
Certain items yes these days probably even more than they used to.
Components tend to go from factory to factory and Jan De Rooy is one of the Philips house carriers
I was led to believe that there wasnt a suitable route into China, the only way in was through mountainous country, and goods were transhipped onto donkeys.
It wasnt so long ago that foreigners were totally banned from visiting China
David Brayshaw and a colleague drove across the border from Russia to China in an Austin Healey in 1998, and were apparently the first Westerners ever to go to China by road.
