History

The first electric buses entered the streets of Moscow in the end of 2018. Under the terms of the contracts, in 2018–2019, domestic manufacturers GAZ and KamAZ supplied 300 electric buses to Moscow. The delivery of another 300 electric buses is planned for 2020. Thus, Moscow’s electric bus fleet has become the largest in Europe.[1]
