Mongolian Road Network Reaches 112,000 Kilometers www.montsame.mn

Mongolia is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of its road transport sector, a milestone recognized alongside the nation’s broader historic commemorations of the 2234th anniversary of Mongolian Statehood, the 819th anniversary of the Great Mongol Empire, the 114th anniversary of the Restoration of the National Freedom and Independence, the 104th anniversary of the People’s Revolution, and the 35th anniversary of the Democratic Revolution.
President of Mongolia Khurelsukh Ukhnaa conveyed an official congratulatory message to delegates and transport sector employees attending the anniversary ceremony. The message delivered by the Chief of Staff of the Office of the President of Mongolia, Uilstuguldur Altankhuyag, paid tribute to generations of road transport workers whose efforts have supported national defense, energy, construction, industry, communications, agriculture, postal service, freight, and passenger mobility across Mongolia’s vast territory. The President recalled that on July 15, 1925, the founding of the “Mongol Transport Office” with just seven motor vehicles marked the beginning of the nation’s motorized transport era, building on a decision made by the First State Great Khural in 1924 to place transport and forwarding activities under state administration.
Opening the sector’s centennial conference, Prime Minister of Mongolia Zandanshatar Gombojav praised the transition from pack-animal caravans and relay post transport to modern motorized mobility in just a century. He noted that historical records show that Mongolians were already engaged in early cross-border freight operations in the early 1900s through the Khuree Khaalga Transport Firm, underscoring deep roots in overland trade. The Prime Minister emphasized that Mongolia’s development journey is inseparable from the road transport sector. Productivity movements among professional drivers in the 1950s and 1960s, remembered as “hundred‑thousand,” “million,” and similar achievement campaigns, helped drive national industrialization, agricultural expansion, and regional integration.
Sector Growth by the Numbers
Freight hauled by road transport expanded from about 400,000 tons in 1925 to 85.2 million tons in 2024, a more than 200‑fold increase.
Road carriers accounted for approximately 65 percent of national freight, including 88 percent of export transport, last year.
Passenger service grew from roughly 800,000 passengers in 1935 to 145.1 million in 2024, an increase of more than 180 times.
Mongolia’s participation in international road transport rose from 1 percent in 2015 to 46 percent in 2025; service coverage expanded from 7 countries to 23 over the same period.
The country’s road network now totals 112,000 kilometers, of which about 15,000 kilometers are international and national-grade roads.
In honor of the centennial, President Khurelsukh awarded the state-owned enterprise “National Road Transport Center of Mongolia”  the Order of the Red Banner of Labor Valor of Mongolia, recognizing its role in organizing equitable and accessible transport services; maintaining vehicle registration and data systems; monitoring technical and environmental standards; and ensuring reliable mobility for the population.
Extending his congratulations, President Khurelsukh wished good health and continued success to all current and former road transport professionals, expressing confidence that the “golden road” of Mongolian progress will remain auspicious under the eternal blue sky.
