Over the year, the Krasnaya Pakhra electric bus depot began servicing 10 more eco-friendly transport routes. Today, it provides operation of 17 routes in TiNAO. On weekdays, they make more than 38 thousand trips. The transport is managed by almost 300 professional Mosgortrans drivers. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.
“Moscow is the leader in the number of electric buses in Europe and the USA. Three years ago, we opened the first innovative electric bus park in Russia, Krasnaya Pakhra. Thanks to it, residents of nine districts of the capital use environmentally friendly transport and can comfortably get to metro stations and important points of attraction. We continue to replace buses with electric buses on the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Maxim Liksutov.
Moscow was the first in Russia to start building innovative parks for electric buses. Now the capital is among the world leaders in the development and use of electric transport and the number one city in Europe in terms of the number of electric buses.
House for electric buses
Today, electric buses are serviced at 12 sites of the State Unitary Enterprise Mosgortrans. In 2022, the Krasnaya Pakhra electric bus park opened in TiNAO. Eco-friendly vehicles entered service in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts.
A year later, the Mitino electric bus park was built in the northwest. With its appearance, electric buses began to run on routes in 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities of the Moscow region. At the end of 2023, the third innovative electric bus park, Saltykovka, began operating. Thanks to this, electric buses entered the routes in the east of the city.
Electric buses are serviced under life cycle contracts. For 15 years after transfer to Mosgortrans fleets, the manufacturing companies independently ensure the proper operation of the equipment on city routes.
Krasnaya Pakhra is the largest electric bus park in Europe. Its total area is 10 hectares. It is designed to service up to 500 large-class electric buses. Krasnaya Pakhra has more than 200 charging posts and 34 charging stations for electric buses. In addition, the park has three lines of portal electric bus washes with a circulating water supply system.
The Krasnaya Pakhra electric bus depot is designed for 1.6 thousand jobs. Its employees are provided with social guarantees from the Moscow Government. The depot is equipped with comfortable rest rooms, a canteen, showers and changing rooms for drivers.
Comfortable and environmentally friendly transport
The advantage of electric buses is that they travel smoothly and silently, for the comfort of passengers there is adaptive interior lighting, which changes from a cold shade to a warm one. When the doors are opened, an air curtain is activated, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature in the cabin. It has everything for the convenience of travel: charging ports for gadgets and media screens with useful information about the route.
Such vehicles meet the most stringent safety and service standards. Low-floor transport is suitable for everyone, it is fully adapted for the comfort of passengers with limited mobility: the cabin has a folding ramp and driver call buttons, a storage area is provided for strollers and bicycles.
For the safety of passengers, video cameras are installed outside and inside. In addition, this transport helps to preserve the environment: replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the environment by more than 60 tons per year.
Innovative and reliable electric buses
Since 2022, improved equipment has been delivered to the capital. In such vehicles, the front route indicator, increased by 18 percent, makes it even easier 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 power reserve has increased from 40-50 to 80 kilometers. At the same time, the weight of the vehicle has remained the same. In 2024, KAMAZ and LiAZ trucks with an updated design entered service.
In 2025, new generation electric buses entered service. They became even more comfortable thanks to an improved interior layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, hand luggage space, and a modified door design. The climate control system became even more efficient, and the doors now have light strips indicating the opening and closing of the doors. The appearance became even more in line with modern trends in global industrial design.
Under the contract with PJSC KAMAZ, this year it is planned to supply 400 innovative vehicles of the 52 222 model of the A5 generation. They are being created taking into account the operating experience of earlier electric buses and passenger feedback. Moscow’s order for the creation of new equipment supports employment in the regions and stimulates the development of domestic industry.
In 2024, more than 70 electric bus routes were launched in the capital, and over 800 electric buses were delivered. More than 2,350 innovative KamAZ and LiAZ vehicles provide operation on over 210 routes. It is expected that by 2035, almost the entire Mosgortrans fleet will switch to electric buses.
