Moscow’s Electric Buses Cut Emissions While Ensuring Comfort

05 Feb 2025 CW Team

Moscow continues to develop environmentally friendly transport, making it not only safe for the environment, but also as comfortable as possible for passengers.

Already more than 1,250 electric buses are equipped with an electric cabin heater, which helps maintain a comfortable temperature in any weather and minimise emissions into the atmosphere.

Electric buses with electric heaters significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Just replacing one diesel bus with an electric bus can reduce CO2 emissions by more than 60 tonne per year. From 2018 to 2023, 130,000 tonne of greenhouse gas emissions were avoided. Electric buses are quiet, vibration-free and operate stably even in freezing temperatures.

Modern technology makes trips comfortable:

Electric heating guarantees warmth in the cabin without harmful emissions
Climate control system maintains the optimum temperature
USB and Type-C ports allow you to charge your gadgets on the road
Media screens keep you informed about your route

In addition, in 2025, the new “Konkovo” park began servicing electric buses, becoming Moscow’s 12th electric bus site, which will allow even more modern vehicles to be put on the line.

“Moscow’s ground transport is comfortable and the most modern. More than 1,250 electric buses with electric cabin heaters are running on the routes. Thanks to this, we have managed to reduce the environmental impact and maintain passenger comfort during trips. We develop transport with care for residents and the environment on behalf of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin,” — added Maksim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Centre Plans Nationwide Opening Of Power Retail Market

India is preparing to open up its retail electricity market to private companies nationwide, effectively ending the long-standing monopoly of state-run power distributors in most regions, according to a draft bill released by the Union Power Ministry on Friday. The move will enable major private sector players — including Adani Enterprises, Tata Power, Torrent Power, and CESC — to expand their presence across the country’s electricity distribution landscape. A similar reform attempt in 2022 had faced strong opposition from state-run distribution companies (discoms), which currently dom..
