Electric buses have been launched on two more city routes – the night H8 and No. 293. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry Maxim Liksutov.
“Today, more than two thousand electric buses provide operation of 154 routes of ground city transport, including six night ones. This is a reliable and comfortable way to get to different points of the capital at any time of the day. We continue to develop the network of electric bus routes on the instructions of Sergei Sobyanin,” said Maxim Liksutov.
Now, after the metro closure, trips for residents of 15 districts have become even more comfortable. Eco-friendly transport runs on the night route H8 from the stop “Ostafevskaya Street” to the metro station “Kitai-Gorod”, and on route No. 293 – from the stop “Ostafevskaya Street” to the station Butovo of the second Moscow Central Diameter. In total, 13 Russian-made electric buses operate on both lines.
Moscow is one of the world leaders in the development and use of electric transport. Eco-friendly Russian-made equipment has been on the capital’s routes since 2018. Today, two thousand electric buses provide comfortable travel for city residents to important social facilities, as well as metro and railway stations.
Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 tons per year. In addition, a smooth ride and the absence of noise and vibrations provide a high level of passenger comfort. The cabins are equipped with charging ports for gadgets and media screens with route information. In addition, electric buses are equipped with folding ramps for people with limited mobility, platforms for strollers and bicycles.
Since 2022, improved equipment has been delivered to the capital. Such vehicles have adaptive interior lighting, which changes from a cold shade to a warm one at 14:00 for the comfort of passengers. The front route indicator, increased by 18 percent, allows you to see the number from afar. The interior is heated by an electric heater, which does not affect the environment and maintains an optimal temperature. The power reserve has increased from 40-50 kilometers to 80 kilometers. At the same time, the weight of the vehicle remains the same. This year, KAMAZ and LiAZ vehicles with an updated design are entering the line.
Innovative transport is serviced at 11 Mosgortrans sites. Moscow was the first in Russia to start building modern electric bus depots. Thus, in 2022, an electric bus depot opened in TiNAO “Red Pakhra”— the largest in Europe. Eco-friendly vehicles went on routes in the Novomoskovsk and Troitsk administrative districts. A year later, a park was built in the northwest “Mitino”. With its appearance, electric buses began to run on routes in almost 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities of the Moscow region. At the end of 2023, the third innovative fleet of electric buses began operating “Saltykovka”It serves routes in the east of the city.
New equipment deliveries and development of charging infrastructure will allow to put even more electric buses on the line and replace buses. They will make the trips of Muscovites and guests of the capital more comfortable and reduce the impact of transport on the environment.
