First TIR transport along KTAI corridor completed
Seven TIR trucks carrying a varied cargo of yeast, pistachios and tyres from Iran have arrived safely in Kyrgyzstan, marking the end of the first TIR transport along the entire Kyrgyzstan-Tajikistan-Afghanistan-Iran (KTAI) corridor.
The success of this TIR pilot is an important milestone for the region, the International Road Union (IRU) said. As the shortest possible route between Iran and Kyrgyzstan, the opening of the corridor will facilitate trade by cutting transport times and costs.
The corridor’s starting point is the large Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, which means that operators can also take advantage of the intermodal functions of TIR along this new trade route.
