"Moscow has deployed its 1000th electric bus. This electric bus has become the 400th vehicle purchased with the funds from the green bonds. The goal of the project is to show how such collaborations can help to make the city eco-friendlier as well as to draw attention to the environmental protection. Electric buses were launched in Moscow in 2018. In the meantime, this innovative surface transport has proved its efficiency. The transport has been launched on 66 bus routes, run 60 million kilometers, and carried more than 150 million passengers. Moscow is now actively developing charging infrastructure. There are more than 168 charging structures in the city... Next year, Moscow plans to buy 600 more electric vehicles. By the end of 2023, the city will have received more than 2,200 electric buses. Nearly 40% of all surface transport fleet will be electric."
