By 2030, Ukraine plans to completely replace all city public transport with electric and create the appropriate infrastructure for this.
This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Infrastructure.
It is noted that ecological types of transport are supported in cities, in particular urban electric and electric cars. The National Transport Strategy of Ukraine by 2030 stipulates that cities will replace their fleet with electric buses, and the corresponding charging infrastructure will be created for them.
"In this direction, we are now actively cooperating with international financial organizations and are preparing to implement the second phase of the joint project with EIB "Urban Public Transport of Ukraine II", which provides for the renewal of public transport parks in various Ukrainian cities and their replacement exclusively with electric transport," he said Minister during the Global e-Mobility Forum, organized by the Ministry of Climate and Environment of Poland.
It is noted that together with business and the public, the Ministry has developed a draft strategy for the development of the automotive industry in Ukraine, which provides incentives for the domestic production of electric cars, and also takes into account the popularization of both private and public electric transport.
Yes, today in Ukraine there are about 25 thousand electric cars, 25 thousand hybrids and almost 9 thousand electric charging stations located mainly in cities.
