THE ROLE OF THE AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORT OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CARGO TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

Road transport is the largest sector of freight transportation due to the extensive road network. The Government of Kazakhstan attaches great importance to the development of this type of transport and the development of roads that provide connections between all its regions, as well as foreign countries. As a result, the requirements for the condition of roads, the quality of transport services and the provided logistics services are increasing.

All international road corridors in Kazakhstan are included in the road network of the Euro-Asian Transport Links (EATL) project. These road corridors provide access to many countries, major ports, transport hubs and terminals. The EATL project is part of a long-term joint effort to improve trade and socio-economic development on the continent. Kazakhstan supports the project.

According to official data from Kazakhstan, road transport in Kazakhstan accounts for the largest share of all modes of transport, and from year to year it shows a tendency to increase. Thus, the average annual growth rate reaches 6%; freight transportation also shows a tendency to multiple growth. Thus, road transportation in Kazakhstan is rapidly developing and has broad prospects.
