<![CDATA[<header><h1>Trucking in Kazakhstan: Local Companies and new rules</h1></header><figure><img src="https://static.tildacdn.com/tild3861-3432-4632-a434-356234666635/6eef3840-2ea3-4dc9-9.jpg"/></figure><div class="t-redactor__text"><strong>Share of Kazakhstan сarriers</strong><br /><br />As of January 1, 2025, there are 9,500 registered transport companies in Kazakhstan, operating a total of 92,900 trucks. Out of these, 58,000 trucks are actively moving cargo to CIS countries, including China and Uzbekistan. Around 2,400 companies, with over 35,000 trucks, handle international freight transport. Over the years, Kazakhstan carriers have been increasing their share in international transportation, reaching 51% by the end of 2024.<br /><br /><strong>New rules for international freight transport</strong><br /><br />Starting January 15, 2025, a new system for issuing international transport permits has been introduced. The main goal is to speed up the process and reduce corruption risks. Applications can now be submitted through the E-license platform, cutting processing time from two business days to just 40 minutes. Permit documents are also issued much faster—previously, it took 8 days, but now they’re ready in just 1 day.<br /><br />Another major change is that a company’s transport history is no longer considered when issuing permits, creating a more competitive environment. Additionally, permits will now include company and vehicle details and will be registered in the “Bürkit” system to prevent illegal resale on the black market.<br /><br /><strong>Payments and deadlines</strong><br /><br />Payments for permits must now be made online, and the payment deadline has been reduced to 40 minutes. Previously, permit processing could take up to 100 days, but with the new system, transport companies can receive their permit within 30 days. This significantly improves logistics and planning.<br /><br /><strong>Opportunities and challenges</strong><br /><br />These changes may impact small and medium-sized businesses. Some in the industry worry that the new rules could create difficulties for Kazakhstan companies, especially given external factors like delays at ports or border crossings. However, the Ministry of Transport assures that these measures will help fight the shadow market and establish fair, transparent conditions for everyone in the industry.<br /><br />For participants of <strong>Komtrans Astana + BUSexpo Astana</strong>, this is an excellent opportunity to explore the latest technological solutions in freight transportation and logistics, discuss recent legislative changes, and establish valuable business connections. The exhibitions will provide a platform to showcase the newest transport vehicles, logistics solutions, and technologies, helping Kazakhstan companies meet new requirements and enhance their competitiveness in the international market.</div>]]>

Overloaded vehicles — exceeding legal weight or size limits — contribute to the deterioration of road surfaces.<br /><br />Manual enforcement has proven insufficient and inefficient.<br /><br />⚙️ <strong>How the System Works</strong><br />By the end of <strong>2025</strong>, Kazakhstan plans to install <strong>220 automated weighing stations (AWS)</strong> operating <strong>24/7</strong>, providing real-time monitoring of vehicle weight and dimensions.<br /><br />Violations are automatically detected, and administrative fines are issued.<br /><br />Currently, <strong>59 stations</strong> have been installed<br /><ul><li data-list="bullet"><strong>30</strong> on national highways;</li><li data-list="bullet"><strong>29</strong> on local roads.</li><li data-list="bullet">Installation of another <strong>95 stations</strong> is underway in various regions.</li></ul><br />🚨 <strong>Results So Far</strong><br />Since the system’s launch in <strong>September 2023</strong>, <strong>3,284 violations</strong> have been recorded. This is <strong>12 times more</strong> than in previous periods without digital enforcement, clearly demonstrating the system’s effectiveness.<br /><br />🎯 <strong>Goals and Outlook</strong><br /><ul><li data-list="bullet"><strong>Preserving Roads</strong></li><li data-list="bullet">Overloaded roads wear out faster and require costly repairs. The new system aims to reduce pressure and extend road life.</li><li data-list="bullet"><strong>Improving Safety</strong></li><li data-list="bullet">Automated control reduces the risk of accidents caused by overloading and minimizes the human factor in inspections.</li><li data-list="bullet"><strong>Efficient Traffic Management</strong></li><li data-list="bullet">The system helps local authorities and transport operators respond quickly to violations and optimize logistics.</li></ul><br /><strong>The Ministry continues to work closely with regional authorities to expand and improve the system across the country.</strong></div><div class="t-redactor__text">Source: https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/transport/press/news/details/1041877</div>]]>

Starting this autumn, individuals will no longer be allowed to import trucks with a capacity of over 5 tons, buses with more than 12 seats, or special-purpose vehicles.<br /><br />A three-month transition period will be granted for those whose vehicles are already in transit.<br /><br />From now on, the import of such categories will only be possible through official dealers and companies. This measure is expected to bring greater order to the market, strengthen the role of distributors, and raise safety standards. At the same time, individuals will still be able to import passenger cars, light trucks, minibuses, and trailers up to 3.5 tons.<br /><br />Experts note that in the short term, the cost of commercial vehicles may rise, but in the long run, these changes will create conditions for stable industry development and an increase in official supplies.<br /><br /><strong>Komtrans + BUSexpo Astana</strong> will be one of the first platforms where market players will discuss the new rules and their impact on business in Kazakhstan and Central Asia.</div>]]>
