Impact of the pandemic: rail • The “Modal Shift” phenomena – goods switching over to rail – is set to have a lasting effect on the industry, leading to us to a state of the “New Global Logistics” • "New Global Logistics" – is a paradigm shift which reflects the growing role of rail in trans-Eurasian trade • Previously, trans-Eurasian railway container transportation was expected to settle at around 3-4% of EU- China trade, but this figure already exceeded 5%, hence the status-quo is no more TREMENDOUS GROWTH OF TRANSEURASIAN TRANSIT Absolute 2019 2020 % Change Figures for UTLC ERA change Cargo volumes 333 021 546 902 213 881 64% transported, TEU Results of goods shifting over to rail: • Absolute growth of 214k TEU transported in 2020 over 2019, which amounts to 64% increase. • The total $ value of goods transported by UTLC ERA in 2020 exceeded $30 billion, accounting for 5.4% of trade between China and Europe. • 64 new routes (U-East: 24, U-West: 40) and 23 new locations (Europe: 20, China: 3) joined UTLC ERA services in 2020. To accommodate the rapid surge of volumes we: • Added new crossings to our base routes in order to boost capacity throughput: Gorynj / Udrytsk, Hrubieszow / Izov. • Developed multimodal solutions to further diversify cargo flows: volumes transported via Kaliningrad increased by 320% in 2020. • Developed routes via Finland to better address the Finnish/Scandinavian cargo: volumes for China-Finland services grew by 21%. • Developed the XL train technology to streamline the transportation process: number of XL trains dispatched went up by 195% in 2020.
