This is a machine-generated summary.
(1) The Mongolian Autonomous Region's People's Government responded to a proposal from the Democratic Revolutionary Party's Mongolian Autonomous Region Committee regarding the development of a green and low-carbon transportation system. According to the proposal, the government aimed to accelerate the transition from highway to rail transportation.
(2) In 2021, the region's comprehensive transportation system handled 21.2 billion tons of cargo and 4891.7 billion ton-kilometers, representing a 24.2% and 10.4% increase from the previous year, respectively. Highway and rail cargo transportation accounted for 62.7% and 37.3% of the total cargo volume, while highway and rail cargo turnover accounted for 45.4% and 54.6% of the total cargo turnover.
(3) In terms of cargo volume, highway transportation was the dominant mode of transportation, while rail transportation has gradually demonstrated its long-distance transportation advantages, with cargo turnover increasing by 7.7% compared to five years ago.
(4) From January to July 2022, the region's rail cargo transportation volume reached 4.6 billion tons, with a cargo turnover of 1723.1 billion ton-kilometers, representing a 0.4% and 15% increase from the previous year, respectively. The rail transportation sector accounted for 38.3% and 58.1% of the total cargo volume and turnover, respectively, representing a 1% and 3.5% increase from the end of 2021.
(5) The average rail transportation distance reached 370 kilometers, a 9.7% increase from the previous year, indicating the effectiveness of the "public to rail" transportation system.
(6) In 2022, the government approved the "Traffic Transportation Structure Adjustment and Reform Work Plan" and the "Mongolian Autonomous Region's Plan to Promote the Development of Intermodal Transportation and Optimize the Transportation Structure," which aimed to guide the region's intermodal transportation development and optimize the transportation structure.
(7) The intermodal transportation demonstration project, "Northwest Region to Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region," was completed in December 2021 and has been operating normally since then. From January to July 2022, the intermodal transportation system handled a total of 65,100 tons of cargo, representing a 63% increase from the previous year, with 48,400 tons of cargo transported by the "carrying and carrying" mode, representing a 30% increase from the previous year.
