Rail transport is one of the most efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective modes of moving cargo—especially for large volumes over long distances. Thanks to its ability to carry high tonnage in a single movement, rail freight offers a significantly lower cost per ton-mile compared to road transport.

At Asia Road Rail Logistics, we utilize our experienced teams across Iran, CIS countries, Turkey, and the UAE to deliver reliable and seamless rail services to our customers.

Strong Partnerships & Rail Code Access

Through our strategic agreements with railway authorities—particularly in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Russia—we provide highly competitive rail freights and efficient rail forwarding solutions across the CIS region.
