Kazakhstan’s automobile transit transportation expands annually

Kazakhstan’s automobile transit transportation volume has grown by nearly 40%, reaching almost five million tonnes of cargo. The Ministry of Transport compared the data with last year’s figures. As analysts say, transit from China surged by 67%, rising from 1.5 million to 2.5 million tonnes. To maintain the dynamics and ensure further transit transportation growth, the ministry plans to transition to electronic foreign permit forms with Türkiye, Russia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Additionally, it aims to expand transportation routes by establishing new intergovernmental agreements with Portugal and Denmark. Currently, Kazakhstan has agreements with over 40 countries, and the foreign permit approval process is fully automated.
