As of now, Mosgortrans, the public transport company in Moscow, has deployed approximately 600 electric buses on 42 routes.
People always think that it’s too cold there for anything other than diesel engines to work. However, under the global trend of electrification, Mosgortrans plans to deploy another 400 electric buses to replace diesel ones. The overall plan is to achieve complete electrification of Moscow’s bus fleet by 2030.
In December last year, Sergei Sobyanin, the Mayor of Moscow, and Chen Jining, the Mayor of Beijing, signed the “Beijing Municipal People’s Government and Moscow City Government Cooperation Plan (2021-2023)”. Ilya Kuzmin, the Deputy Head of Moscow’s Department of External Economic and International Relations said: “We are learning from the experience in the field of transportation and developing the intelligent transport system that has been established in our city to improve mobility and electrification. We have been paying attention to how Beijing develops and promotes electric buses in their city. We are doing the same thing.”
