DHL makes access to Mongolia's market from Europe and US faster

DHL Global Forwarding has launched new road and multimodal freight services that will connect Mongolia to its major European and US trading partners in under 20 days. 

The services are targeted at SMEs and larger enterprises in industries ranging from mining and automotive to retail, fashion and perishables seeking to capitalise on Mongolia's return to rapid growth and its transition from commodities to value-added exports, a company statement said. 



The new road freight service to and from Mongolia will connect to Europe through Russia and Belarus in less than 20 days. The new service offers both full truck load (FTL) and less-than-truck load (LTL) options. The service will support the movement of imported foreign goods such as furniture, medicines and wine, and exports like mining spare parts, cashmere products and all terrain bikes. 



"Mongolia's economy is rebounding from the mining downturn, further building on its status as the world's second-largest cashmere producer and a food and agricultural export hub," said DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific chief Kelvin Leung. 



"With Mongolian businesses gaining a growing slice of global market share, supported by an increasingly solid network of regional free trade agreements, Mongolia's dominant trading partners also stand to gain from increases in domestic consumption of foreign goods." 



The new multimodal service provides FCL and LCL shipping with minimum transit times of 18 days. The service moves cargo such as watches, coffee machines and motorcycles from the US to South Korea by air, and via ocean freight to China, and through rail and road into Mongolia. Mongolia exports goods like aviation spare parts, camel wool and rally cars to the US.
