Thank you for visiting UTLC ERA website
where we post updates on our services / operations and the current events.
Every year, the EEU countries increasingly focus on development of integration projects. JSC United Transport and Logistics Company – Eurasian Rail Alliance is a unique example of successful integration in logistics. The company was founded on a parity basis by the railway administrations of Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus to develop the transit potential and increase the traffic volumes in the East-West axis using the railway networks of the member countries by implementation of high-tech logistic services that require an aligned policy to be adopted by railways and regulatory authorities in the 1,520 mm track gauge regions.
In 2016, our JV started its operations as a separate and independent business unit in the container traffic market. In that year, the shareholders agreed and approved the company’s key development policies and strategies.
The traffic volume in the JSC UTLC ERA transit corridor via Kazakhstan, Russia and Belarus has grown almost 20-fold over the past years. From 2016 to 2021, the average annual freight flow in the company’s services grew approximately by 47%. In many ways, our company has become more than just a positive example or a benchmark; it has also set up the industry standards for other corridors, which are currently implementing the technologies that were first used in our services, such as the train length and fill rate, dual freight operations in the border infrastructure, digitalization of logistic processes, or development of additional directions to diversify freight flows and ensure ample reserve capacities for growing traffic volumes.
Effective implementation of the connection between the Silk Road Economic Belt and the Eurasian Economic Union remains a priority for UTLC ERA, so we are proceeding with a number of projects aimed, among other things, at creating a positive image and enhancing freight owners’ loyalty to Trans-Eurasian rail transportation.
It is crucial for all of us to be ready for further change, to remain flexible and open to our customers, to facilitate access to our services, including their digitalization, thereby boosting the process effectiveness for all market players.
We need to join our efforts to pursue opportunities, cooperate, communicate and actively interact, as success always depends on the degree of integration at all levels, be it people, companies or countries.
