3.2 Armenia Transporters
Internal transport service providers in Armenia, are mainly small or medium size companies, who have countrywide transport capability. The majority of these companies have their own fleet of Russian manufactured Kamaz, Zil and Kraz trucks which are relatively old, however well maintained and operati onal. Most of trucks are equipped with 20’ DV containers and can carry 20 mt or 30 m³ cargo. Majority of these trucks are 4x4, which is an asset when driving during winter thorough mountainous roads. The maximum capacity of Zil trucks is about 5 – 6 mt, these are used for smaller consignments to rural mountainous areas.
The average fleet size of each transporter is about 10-12 trucks; however, this number can be increased because there are big numbers of individuals owning one or two trucks and ready for hire. It is important to mention, that the major producers usually own their fleet for organizing both – import of raw materials and distribution or transportation of their production to the final destination points. Likewise, wheat flour manufacturer Modus Granum LLC owns 60-65 DAF, IVECO, MAN and other similar trucks, with capacity 30 mt each.
The Republic of Armenia joined the TIR Convention in 1993. In order to implement the provisions of the Convention, “Association of International Road Carriers of Armenia” non-governmental organization was formed in 1999. AIRCA is a member of International Road Transport Union (IRU) and was recognized as guaranteeing organization for issuing TIR carnets. Presently, AIRCA has 51 member-organizations, which have a total of over 530 vehicles matching with international standards. However, the association is not engaged in price formation, so transportation rates basically vary due to fuel price and season.
Transporters are charging approximately 25-30 USD/mt on average for transportation of commodities inside Armenia.
Recently due to increasing demand for the movement of small tonnages there are a few companies who offer small (1.5 mt) truck transport solutions.
