This century saw a transition of cross-border freight operations from pack animal caravans to modern motor fleets, led by IRU member the National Road Transport Association of Mongolia.
Mongolia has marked a historic milestone, celebrating 100 years of road transport.
The centenary celebrations brought together the entire road transport community: industry leaders, regulators and clients. The President of Mongolia, the State Great Hural (Parliament), the Prime Minister, and the Minister of Road and Transport conveyed official congratulatory messages to delegates and transport sector employees.
IRU General Delegate to Eurasia Vadim Zakharenko said, “Mongolia has already made significant development gains over recent years. Though a landlocked country, it is ideally placed to facilitate trade and transport. Mongolia is fully capable of converting the challenges currently associated with the diversification of global and regional supply chains and logistics flows into opportunities.
“This remarkable milestone reflects a century of progress, regional cooperation and innovation in Mongolia’s transport industry.
“Mongolia is exemplary in how it demonstrates strong support for road transport and values the sector’s crucial role in driving foreign trade, mobility, prosperity, and sustainable development.”
