LHZ-TIR Adds 300 Kazakhstan-Licensed Car Carrier Trucks Istanbul Node Provides Caspian Sea Route Alternative for Dedicated China-Iran Finished Vehicle TIR Transport

LHZ-TIR announced the addition of 300 new car carrier trucks, all with Kazakhstan local licenses, dedicated exclusively to China-Iran finished vehicle TIR transport. This brings LHZ-TIR total self-owned and contracted TIR fleet to over 1,500 vehicles, distributed across six nodes: China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, all with local licenses. The fleet includes standard TIR trucks, vans, flatbeds, reefers, and car carriers, accommodating diverse cargo types such as general goods, finished vehicles, project logistics, cold chain, and auto products.

The Istanbul node in Turkey, serving as LHZ-TIR Eurasia hub, plays a key role in this capacity expansion. The 300 Kazakhstan-licensed car carriers can be flexibly redeployed across the six nodes. The Istanbul node provides capacity support and transit coordination for the Caspian Sea route alternative for China-Iran finished vehicle transport.

Each car carrier is custom-designed to load 8 units of passenger vehicles (sedans, SUVs, MPVs), commercial vehicles (light trucks, medium trucks), or new energy vehicles (EVs, hybrids), equipped with professional securing systems and protective features for long-distance cross-border transport.

Main Route (Central Asia-Iran Corridor): China (Khorgos/Alashankou) – Kazakhstan – Uzbekistan – Turkmenistan – Iran, 10-12 days
Alternative Route 1 (Caspian Sea Route via Turkey): China (Khorgos/Alashankou) – Kazakhstan – Caspian Sea ferry – Caucasus – Turkey – Iran, 12-15 days. The Istanbul node provides capacity support and transit coordination for this route.
Alternative Route 2 (avoiding Kazakhstan): China (Kashgar) – Kyrgyzstan – Uzbekistan – Turkmenistan – Iran, 12-14 days

Full-service finished vehicle transport includes: domestic consolidation (nationwide pickup to bonded warehouses in Alashankou, Khorgos, Kashgar), export customs clearance, TIR transport (Kazakhstan-licensed car carriers direct to Iran), import customs clearance (Iran import clearance included), and last-mile distribution (to Tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz, Bandar Abbas, and all of Iran).

Suitable cargo: Passenger vehicles (sedans, SUVs, MPVs), commercial vehicles (light trucks, medium trucks), new energy vehicles (EVs, hybrids)
