The transportation of double-stacked containers from the Korgas/Altynkol border crossing with China to Zhetigen and back has been tested by KTZ Express, the national railway’s multimodal logistics business.
The goal of the test was to increase route throughput in order to lower logistical costs and expedite delivery.
In order to supply a wagon that was modified for double-stack loading, KTZ Express collaborated with rolling stock manufacturer Ziksto, terminal operator KTZE-Korgas Gateway, and KTZ-Freight Transportation.
In order to speed up loading and unloading and safeguard vehicles from damage during transit, KTZ Express has also started offering a service that involves shipping vehicles in containers.
