Rail Cargo Group and UTLC agree on cooperation

In the future, the Rail Cargo Group will work together with the United Transport and Logistics Company (UTLC), the largest operator on the Dostyk line on the Kazakh-Chinese border and Brest. The aim is to improve the connection on the Eurasian route and increase intermodal transport. To this end, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by RCG Board Chairman Thomas Kargl and Aleksei Grom, President UTLC.

“UTLC and the Rail Cargo Group are strengthening rail logistics on the Eurasian Corridor. With this cooperation, RCG is taking a significant step towards continuing our internationalisation strategy as far as to Asia,” explains Thomas Kargl.

“By signing the Memorandum of Understanding with RCG, we are expanding the UTLC family network. As a result, rail links will be further networked and new products will be implemented for customers,” says Aleksei Grom.

United Transport and Logistics Company (UTLC) was founded by the three railway companies OJSC “Russian Railways”, UN “Byelorussian Railways” and NC “Kazakhstan” – with the aim to increase the attractiveness of the Eurasian transit corridor for carriers in China, South Asia and Europe. As an operator, the company is responsible for regular container trains between China and Europe.
