Mongolian Railway (MTZ), a state-owned shareholding company, has signed cooperation agreements with coal mining companies operating in the Tavantolgoi group of deposits and has begun providing combined rail and road transportation services.

The company signed cooperation agreements with Erdenes Tavantolgoi JSC and Energy Resources LLC to organize the transportation of export coal using an integrated rail and road logistics model, MTZ reported.

Since 2024, MTZ has been transporting coal traded by Erdenes Tavantolgoi on the exchange to Mandal border port through a mixed rail-road system. On February 5 this year, the company signed a combined rail and road transport agreement for shipments toward the Gantsmod border crossing and is commencing transportation under that agreement starting March 03, 2026.

In addition, combined transport from Energy Resources’ Ukhaa Khudag mine to Gantsmod border crossing began on the first of this month. MTZ is also set to conclude a transport agreement with locally owned Tavantolgoi JSC for shipments toward Gantsmod.

Under these arrangements, combined rail and road transport — including documentation processing — is now being organized from mine loading and unloading sites to the border crossings along the Tavantolgoi–Gashuunsukhait–Gantsmod and Tavantolgoi–Khangi–Mandal routes.

The new logistics structure is expected to improve coordination in coal exports, increase border crossing capacity, enhance logistics efficiency, and strengthen a stable and efficient transport system for coal exports.
