Transport Authority of Mongolia Inspects Coal Transportation Companies

Transportation Authority of Mongolia has recently taken inspection measures on coal transportation companies on the southern border. More than 150 companies have been covered by the inspection measures, 46 of them have been qualified, 36 companies were shut down, and 26 were temporarily closed down by the authority.

Most of the transportation operator companies were found to have no fleet of vehicles, and adequate human resource available. A total of 3,150 vehicles have passed the technical specification requirements, more than 80 percent of which were imported from China. Also, coal transportation companies were strongly warned to hire more Mongolian drivers as more than 1,800 Chinese drivers were counted to be working for those coal transportation companies.
