In 2022, it is planned to renew 35% of the public transport bus fleet in Tashkent through the purchase of 410 buses and electric buses. While, the number of large-capacity buses is planned to be doubled. This issue was discussed at a presentation to the President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on January 19.
At the presentation, it was declared to attract 741.4 billion soums in a loan from the National Bank of Uzbekistan for the purchase of 390 domestically produced buses (190 large-capacity MAN A22 and 200 medium-capacity Isuzu LE 60). In addition, it is planned to purchase 20 electric buses via the World Bank's green fund of $6 million. The total amount, therefore, is about 72 million dollars (at the rate of the Central Bank on January 20).
In 2023-2025, it is expected to purchase another 600 buses and 53 electric buses by attracting loans from international financial institutions worth nearly $203.8 million.
