Container freight train on an international route
Rail freight

Rail routes between Europe and Asia

We use Kazakhstan’s transit position for container, railcar and regular long-distance shipments.

Solution

Kazakhstan as a rail corridor

Rail provides a stable main-haul leg for routes between Asian and European markets. It is suited to shipments that need regularity and predictable organization over long distances.

Depending on the cargo, container or railcar transportation can be used. Road transport complements the scheme on the first and last mile — between warehouse, terminal and consignee.

Shipment formats for the long-haul leg

01

Container shipments

Container transportation along international and regional rail corridors.

02

Railcar freight

Selection of a suitable railcar format around shipment characteristics and volume.

03

Regular shipments

A repeatable scheme for planned business shipments.

04

First and last mile

Road positioning and pickup between terminals and addresses.

How we launch a rail shipment

We first define the shipment format and stations, then connect the main line with the first and last mile.

01

Define the format

We clarify the cargo, volume, stations and whether a container or railcar is required.

02

Build the route

We plan the main-haul section and the connected road legs.

03

Organize dispatch

We coordinate positioning, terminal operations and movement along the route.

04

Complete delivery

We arrange pickup from the station and handover to the consignee.

Next step

We’ll calculate the rail route

Provide the stations, shipment volume and dispatch format — we will compare container or railcar options and the connected road legs.
