Despite the claims, the German government continues to retreat from its climate protection targets in the transport sector. This has a particular impact on railways and combined transport, as the manager of Kombiverkehr KG said when presenting the results for the 2023 financial year. Continuous increases in rail tariffs, the end of subsidies and the government’s refusal to cover the additional costs of upgrading high-speed corridors are negatively impacting the goals of shifting freight from road to rail.

In Klaipėda a Memorandum of Understanding was signed to advance the development of a new European rail line to the city. This memorandum was signed by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, LTG Infra, the Klaipėda State Seaport Authority, and the municipalities of Klaipėda city and district. This agreement aims to enhance cooperation in decision-making, focusing on determining the optimal route for the railway line.

After the signing of an intergovernmental agreement in Beijing on the construction of the China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway, Kazakh experts are actively discussing the prospects of the project. Some believe that the new line will not be able to compete with Kazakhstan’s transit routes, but others believe that its appearance will increase competition for transit revenues and have a positive impact on freight traffic.
