The National Auto Transportation Center and Tavantolgoi company have established a cooperation agreement.
The National Auto Transportation Center, governmental agency which inspects in-service vehicles and Tavantolgoi mining company, one of the world’s largest untapped coal deposits have established a cooperation agreement. The agreement aims to upgrade regulations of coal transportations. According to the agreement, mine owners will establish a Transport Contract with transport companies under the standards and regulations, within the framework of Mongolian laws and regulations. Based on the contract, the National Auto Transportation Center will put a control and issue a permit to cross the border. An effective regulation was lacked in coal transportation as the mining companies previously gave authority of transportation matters to the buyers. Therefore, establishing the cooperation agreement and bringing transportation matters into the attention of the mines will create a possibility to make regulation in compliance with the capacities of the mines and roads. By doing so, it is expected to reduce traffic jam, improve responsibility of transporters, decrease traffic accidents, resolve social issues of drivers and ensure drivers to get health and social services.
