Ulaanbaatar, March 6,
2023 /MONTSAME/. O. Amarsanaa, the Stationmaster of Tsogttsetsii train station
said, “The Memorandum of Cooperation between Mongolian Railway and Mongolian
Professional Committee of Petroleum Import was signed and we have been
cooperating actively since then.” As a result of this MOC, companies and
entities working in the strategy fields are able to be supplied by lower-price
gasoline and the overloaded truck traffic will be reduced, increasing the
lifespan of roads.
On February 1, 2023, “Mongolian Railway” SOSC, “Tavan Tolgoi Railway” LLC, and “Mongolian Trans Line” LLC jointly launched a trial transportation between Tavantolgoi -Tsagaantsav.
