DHL has launched a new rail service - the Genghis Khan Connection - a scheduled tri-weekly cross-border rail solution available during the high season from April to October linking Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by rail to Tianjin, China and out to the rest of the world.
The thirty-day Genghis Khan Connection leverages Mongolia's improving infrastructure to help customers avoid peak season congestion at regional border towns, seaports and airports, which can sometimes cause significant delays.
Kelvin Leung, DHL Global Forwarding's CEO for North Asia Pacific, said: "Despite having vast economic potential, Mongolia has hitherto suffered from limited routing options that include Russia and China for cargo from Europe, America and Asia. This has led to unreliable delivery, seasonal congestion that can delay shipments by up to 21 days as well as higher costs."
