At the "Rail vs. Road Transport: What Drives Shippers and Logistics Decisions?" session organized by RZD-Partner magazine, participants discussed cargo shifting to trucks, China shipments to/from Russia, and rail tariff policies.
Acknowledging intense intermodal competition, Vladimir Leonidovich sees scaling technological solutions and infrastructure upgrades as the key response.
Vladimir Gerus stressed efficient wagon fleet management across the rail network. Thanks to the RZD agreement, we've exported larger volumes with fewer wagons.
The agreement elevated RZD collaboration: with Traffic Management Directorate, we now precisely plan monthly/quarterly/annual schedules in advance.
Plus, a month ago we launched our first wagon repair complex—diagnostics/repairs at load/unload sites, cutting client transport costs. It's technologically integrated with Siberian TLC.
