Freight transport by rail
Freight transport on the territory of Lithuania
LTG Cargo organises all types of freight transport by rail in Lithuania: we transport freight in Lithuania according to the individual needs of each client.
Freight transport by rail also helps to preserve the environment: freight transport by rail requires up to 10 times less fuel than transport by road. After choosing this more sustainable method of freight transport, the reliable, professional, and client-oriented LTG Cargo team will ensure effective supervision and service quality, both in Lithuania and internationally. Connection with the non-freezing seaport of Klaipėda ensures a wide geographic range of freight destinations.
By choosing the services of LTG Cargo, you will be assured of their professionalism: the company has accumulated many years of experience in transport of normal freight as well as oversized cargo. Taking into account the needs of clients, the company transports freight locally and internationally, rents wagons, and provides freight forwarding and customs brokerage services.
The company carries out transportation on both 1435mm and 1520mm gauge railways. The experience gained from operating two standard railway tracks provides opportunities to pursue business development projects and offer clients a wide range of routes over Eurasia.
The company started organising intermodal transport by rail in 2021. Rapid growth of this form of transport has been observed since then. Freight relocated to the railways can be transported over long distances more sustainably and safely. Even single containers can be transported easily by rail in this way. LTG Cargo can offer transport on a developed railway infrastructure and a wide range of container train services. Transport and maintenance services are provided in Lithuania, in other European countries, and in Asia.
In 2021, the Rail Baltica connection between Šeštokai and the Kaunas Intermodal Terminal (KIT) opened up new opportunities to transport freight to the West in an efficient, flexible, and effective manner.
The main goals of the freight transport services development are as follows:
- development of intermodal freight transport and of new international routes;
- development of freight transport by rails in Lithuania;
- traction fleet electrification and green transformation;
- further optimisation and digitisation of operations and modernisation of the train fleet;
- optimisation of production bases;
- development of new rolling stock repair and production services for clients;

LTG Cargo transports freight by rail and delivers it to loading stations. Since 2020, the company has renewed its rolling stock and added new loco tractors (shunting railway rolling stock), offering clients even more convenient and faster logistics and shunting services.
