1,500 Vehicles and Six Nodes – How LHZ Middle East Trucking Supports Scalable Delivery for Turkey's Auto Trade

For Turkey's automotive trade, capacity scale determines the upper limit of delivery.

When a single order expands from dozens of units to hundreds, when clients need not just "can be delivered" but "can be delivered stably, in bulk, and predictably," the logistics system must evolve from standalone operations to systematic assurance.

LHZ Middle East Trucking's capacity system is built precisely for scalable delivery.


1. The Capacity Foundation of 1,500 Vehicles

LHZ Middle East Trucking operates over 1,500 owned and partnered TIR-qualified vehicles across logistics nodes including Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany. The fleet covers multiple vehicle types including temperature-controlled trucks, semi-trailers, curtain-siders, flatbeds, and car carriers, providing tailored transport solutions based on different cargo characteristics.

Among them, 300 dedicated car carriers, each capable of loading 8 passenger vehicles, operate exclusively on the China-Turkey vehicle TIR route. All these vehicles have local license plates in their respective countries, enjoying the highest customs facilitation when entering Turkey and the EU, with no need for border reloading or waiting for third-party capacity.


2. Full Coverage Across Six Nodes

The 1,500 vehicles are distributed across six nodes in China, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Russia, Belarus, and Germany, forming a spider-web capacity network covering the core Eurasian corridor. Horgos, Alashankou, and Kashgar have achieved regular operation with 5 weekly departures to Turkey, widely recognized in the industry as an efficient truck flight channel that significantly empowers client enterprises.


3. The Strategic Value of the Trans-Caspian Corridor

In 2026, freight volume on the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route continues to rise, with total freight exceeding 4.5 million tons in 2024 and transport time shortened to 14 to 18 days. LHZ Middle East Trucking leverages this corridor, with the main route departing from Horgos or Alashankou, crossing Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, and the Caucasus into Turkey, reaching in 13 to 16 days with Turkey import customs clearance included.

When the main corridor faces restrictions due to sanctioned goods or transit policy constraints, Middle East Trucking maintains a backup route via Europe, reaching in 15 to 18 days. The dual corridors serve as mutual backups, ensuring uninterrupted delivery for the Turkey dedicated line.
