Since the beginning of the year, eco-friendly transport in the capital has appeared on 32 more routes. And in total, there are already 210 electric bus routes in Moscow. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.
“On the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin, we are purchasing the most modern Russian equipment. Residents of the capital are the first in the country to start using innovative transport for daily trips. Moscow’s order for the creation of new models of electric buses stimulates the development and localization of the most important technologies in the country. We plan to purchase another 700 electric buses for Moscow with delivery in 2026-2027,” said Maxim Liksutov.
New generation transport
Moscow is constantly updating its transport to improve the comfort and safety of passenger travel. Modern Russian electric buses have been operating in the capital since 2018, and every few years, improved models arrive in the city. Moscow is among the world leaders in the development and use of electric transport and ranks first in Europe in the number of electric buses.
Since 2022, the capital has been supplied with improved equipment. These vehicles have adaptive interior lighting, which changes from a cold shade to a warm one for passenger comfort. The front route indicator, increased by 18 percent, makes it easy to see the number from afar. The interior has an electric heater, which minimizes the impact on the environment and maintains an optimal temperature. The range of electric buses has increased from 40-50 to 80 kilometers. At the same time, the weight has remained the same.
In 2024, KAMAZ and LiAZ electric buses with an updated design hit the city streets. And in 2025, new generation electric buses appeared on the routes. They became even more comfortable thanks to an improved interior layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, places for hand luggage and a modified door design. The climate control system became more efficient, and light strips with opening and closing indicators appeared on the doors. The appearance of the innovative vehicles is even more in line with modern trends in global industrial design.
The new technology increases the comfort of travel and reduces the impact on the environment. There are chargers for phones in the cabin, and the names of the nearest stops are displayed on media screens. For passengers with limited mobility, there are buttons to call the driver, who will help them get in or out of the cabin if necessary, and a folding ramp. Strollers and bicycles can be conveniently stored on the storage area.
Under the contract with PJSC KAMAZ, 400 new-generation electric buses are planned to be delivered this year. They are being created based on the operating experience of earlier models and passenger feedback. Moscow’s order for the creation of new equipment supports employment in the regions and stimulates the development of domestic industry.
Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the environment by more than 60 tons per year. Thanks to environmentally friendly transport, from 2018 to 2024, it was possible to avoid about 190 thousand tons of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, and pollutant emissions over these years were reduced by 930 tons.

Electric bus maintenance
Electric buses are serviced at 12 sites of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans, whose fleet already includes more than 2,350 electric buses. More than four thousand drivers provide operation of 210 routes.
Moscow was the first in Russia to start building modern electric bus depots. In 2022, the first in the country and the largest in Europe electric bus depot “Krasnaya Pakhra” opened in TiNAO. Eco-friendly vehicles first went on routes in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. In the summer of 2023, the Mitino electric bus depot opened in the northwest of the capital. At the end of 2023, the third innovative electric bus depot, “Saltykovka”, opened. It serves routes in the east of the city.
Electric buses are purchased under life cycle contracts. For 15 years after the vehicles are transferred to the Mosgortrans State Unitary Enterprise fleet, the manufacturers independently ensure the serviceability of the equipment on the routes.
In 2024, electric buses began to serve another 71 capital routes. This is twice as many as in 2023. More than 800 electric buses from PJSC KAMAZ and the LiAZ plant were delivered to the fleets of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans, including 600 vehicles in a new, even more modern design.
It is planned that by 2035 almost the entire fleet of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans will operate on electric traction.
