Despite an increase in the number of trucking companies, the underdeveloped transportation network complicates the movement of food, fuel and other products within the country. Almost all production, processing and distribution of goods is centered in Ulaanbaatar, but the lack of roads and trucks makes delivery to the rest of the country difficult. Mongolia relies on a fleet of mostly Russian trucks and trailers to deliver goods within the country and to China and Russia. Most trucks have inefficient low-octane gasoline engines, averaging only 100 km per 35 liters. There are a number of private trucking companies in Mongolia that operate to various cities and towns as far as China and Russia, and also many individual trucks are available in UB for making deliveries within the city.
Cost depends on the type of freight carried.
Car Rentals Arranging a private car and driver is generally not difficult in Ulaanbaatar. Most hotels in Ulaanbaatar, travel agencies, government ministries with which business is being conducted or private individuals may be of assistance in locating a car and driver. A newly opened Mercedes Benz Service Center in Ulaanbaatar is now providing top quality assistance.
