As the capital and largest economic center, Ashgabat sits at the cross-section of the country's main road and rail networks. It houses the primary customs terminals and is the central hub for the newly completed Ashgabat-Turkmenabat highway, which is the fastest route to the Uzbek border.

This is a strategic transport corridor connecting Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. 3PLs in Turkmenistan are the "middle link" in this chain, facilitating the movement of goods from South Asia to the European Union via the Caspian Sea.

Yes, but it is a growing sector. Companies like Milli Ulgam and Sincer Logistics have introduced refrigerated trailers (reefers) to support the export of Turkmen tomatoes and other produce to the Russian and Kazakh markets.

By 2026, the Middle Corridor via Turkmenistan has become a viable alternative to the Northern Route. 3PLs can now move cargo from Western China to the Port of Baku (via Turkmenbashy) in approximately 12–15 days, significantly faster than traditional sea routes.
