On September 1, a new algorithm for calculating truck tolls entered into force in the Platon system. According to the Russian Ministry of Transport, the system now automatically completes the route of the vehicle in cases when the on-board device loses the satellite signal. This innovation should solve the problem of erroneous fines, which have caused serious difficulties for carriers over the past year and a half.

Previously, due to the effects of electronic warfare, many control frames did not record on-board devices mounted on trucks. As a result, the trips were considered unpaid, and the carriers received fines. Despite the possibility of appealing against such rulings, the process itself took a lot of time and required considerable effort. Now the situation must change.  

According to the new rules, if part of the route is not recorded by the system due to a missing signal, the algorithm independently restores the truck's path. For this purpose, data from traffic cameras and other technical means is used. Based on the information received, the system calculates the fare and deducts funds from the carrier's account if there are enough funds there. At the same time, fines for such travel are no longer charged.  

The Ministry of Transport emphasizes that the innovation will eliminate unlawful administrative sanctions for companies that regularly pay for travel. Payment information appears in the carrier's personal account within three days, which simplifies the control and transparency of the process.  

The problem with erroneous fines has existed for a long time. In the first months of dealing with the situation, some of the frames exposed to electronic warfare were disabled, while the rest were equipped with additional sensors. However, this did not solve the problem completely — complaints continued to arrive.  

According to statistics, by the end of July, Rostransnadzor employees were able to process applications received from the beginning of 2024 to the middle of May 2025. This workload only increased the discontent of the carriers.  

Market participants were particularly annoyed by plans to increase penalties. Thus, the legislation is already considering an initiative to increase fines for non—payment of travel four times - from 5 to 20 thousand rubles. In addition, the expansion of the Platon system to regional roads is being discussed. The concept of this project is being developed by the Higher School of Economics.  

The updated algorithm, which has been operational since September, should alleviate the severity of the problem and reduce social tension in the industry. Carriers expect that the system will become more fair and will save them from having to spend time and resources appealing unjustified fines.

China has launched the Nanchang–Baku railway route via the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route. The first train carrying industrial and consumer goods passes through Khorgos, Kazakhstan and the Caspian Sea crossing. The stated effect is to reduce transit from 50 days to 18 days and reduce logistics costs by an average of 15-20%. We look at why this strengthens the Middle Corridor and how the competition of routes is changing against the background of the instability of sea routes.

For the first time, FESCO sent container trains from Kurgan station to China: two trains with grain crops left for Tianjin via Kazakhstan and the Altynkol–Khorgos crossing. The stated average transit time is 20 days, and the volume is 248 TEU when trains are formed from 62 forty-foot containers. We are looking at why the new departure point is important for exporters, how useful grain containerization is and what opportunities it opens up for businesses in the regions.

China is changing the rules of export VAT: from April 1, 2026, refunds for 271 items will be canceled or reduced, and a transitional period will be introduced for batteries until complete cancellation from 2027. For Russian imports, this is a risk of rising prices for both direct supplies and goods where Chinese components are "protected". We're figuring out where to expect a surge in shipments, how prices will behave, and which contract clauses should be reviewed in advance.
