LTG Cargo Polska przewiozła partię nowych samochodów KIA

LTG Cargo Polska has completed a special project to transport almost 230 new KIA vehicles through Poland from Slovakia to Lithuania, intended for the markets of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.

„Car manufacturers are increasingly turning to rail as a sustainable means of transport, which can transport large quantities of cars in a relatively short time, without the need for dozens of trucks and drivers. In cooperation with our partners, LTG Cargo Polska is able to offer our customers high-quality and fast services in the field of transport projects,” says Laimonas Nekrošius, CEO of LTG Cargo Polska.

It was estimated that about 30 special vehicles – trucks – forming a convoy of almost 2 km on the road will be needed to transport this number of cars.

The nineteen-car train transported the cars from the KIA factory in Žilina, Slovakia, to their destination in Kaunas, Lithuania, covering a total of almost 1,000 km. The longest section of the journey – through Poland – was carried out by LTG Cargo Polska, the Polish subsidiary of the Lithuanian rail freight carrier LTG Cargo. Unloading and distribution of cars in the Baltic States was provided by the company „AV Terminal”.

The European track from Polish to Kaunas, opened in 2015, enables the transport of intermodal and other goods to and from Western Europe without the need to tranship goods between Poland and Lithuania.

LTG Cargo, the transport company of the LTG Group, together with its Polish subsidiary LTG Cargo Polska, currently operates regular intermodal transport on the Kaunas – Łódź – Duisburg route, as well as expanding the geography of transports and implementing transport projects, such as the transport of railway tracks from Austria last year.

LTG Cargo Polska is a subsidiary of LTG Cargo, which started operations in Poland in 2020 with the aim of strengthening logistics supply chains and improving cargo mobility between Lithuania and Poland and Western Europe.
