Electric buses continue to explore the regions of Russia: following Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don and Volgodonsk of the Rostov region, the Krasnodar Territory received them.
16 electric buses have started operating in Krasnodar, the capital of the Krasnodar Territory, and 8 charging stations have also been delivered and equipped for them.
It is known that in 2024, the regional authorities plan to purchase 90 trams and seven electric buses for Krasnodar, 50 buses and nine electric buses for Sochi, and 15 new trolleybuses for Novorossiysk in addition to them. This is how they want to make large cities more comfortable for tourists and ordinary residents. It was assumed that eco-transport would be purchased from Belarusian manufacturers.
They intend to replenish the fleet of electric buses in the Rostov region, where there are already 40 units. For these electric buses, 14 charging stations were purchased in three cities. Governor Vasily Golubev, during the inspection and testing of a new batch of electric buses in Taganrog, noted that applications for them are already coming from other cities in the region, and transport "will be purchased as needed and as possible" along with chargers. According to him, the region has already formed an application for the federal center for a hundred new electric buses.
The emergence of electric eco-transport in Russian cities is part of the national project "Safe High-Quality Roads", which already involves more than 50 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Under this project, Russian regions receive not only new eco-transport - electric buses, trams - but also intelligent transport systems on major highways and at intersections.
