00:04Electric vehicles are no longer just an environmental choice for Uzbekistan.
00:08They are part of a broader economic strategy aimed at modernizing transport,
00:13attracting investment and building new industrial capacity.
00:17Hello and welcome to Business Line Uzbekistan.
00:21From electric cars and buses to charging networks and shared mobility services,
00:26Uzbekistan is treating green mobility as a business sector with growth potential.
00:32The government has introduced an ecological transport framework and eco-stickers to speed up the shift to cleaner vehicles.
00:41This creates clearer market signals for consumers and investors.
00:45Public transport electrification is a key priority.
00:50Authorities aim for electric buses to make up 50% of urban fleets by 2030.
00:56Supported by large-scale investment in modern transit systems.
01:01Trump services, already operating in Samarkand, reflect renewed spending on efficient urban transport.
01:08By July 2025, more than 73,000 electric vehicles had been registered nationwide,
01:15with almost 56,000 in Tashkent alone, indicating strong urban uptake.
01:21EV imports are also rising rapidly.
01:24Between January and August 2025, around 29,000 electric cars were imported,
01:30accounting for roughly 70% of all passenger car imports during that period.
01:36The economic framework behind this transition includes financial incentives designed to attract capital.
01:44Preferential loans are planned to support electric vehicle purchases and charging infrastructure.
01:50At the same time, tax exemptions for charging equipment aim to maintain competitive operating costs.
01:57Here is more.
01:59Samarkand, major historical and cultural center of Uzbekistan, is becoming a testing ground for sustainable urban transport.
02:07Two tram lights now carry up to 10,000 passengers daily, easing congestion and cutting emissions.
02:13We have the vehicles from Czech Republic.
02:16We have the vehicles from the Czech Republic.
02:17We have the electric vehicles from 550 kilowatts from 600 kilowatts.
02:22If we have the total of 600 kilowatts, we have the total of 600 kilowatts.
02:24As part of the Green City initiative, Samarkand has also introduced e-busses operating on 10 main routes across the
02:33city.
02:33A fleet of 100 e-busses requires charging only once per day and can travel up to 400 kilometers on
02:41a full charge.
02:57Beyond public transport, change is unfolding at street level.
03:02Cycling, once recreational, is increasingly becoming practical urban mobility.
03:18The country is working to reduce environmental emissions by producing safe and eco-friendly electric vehicles domestically.
03:48For Uzbekistan, green mobility is not only about cleaner air, it's becoming a driver of economic modernization and technological expansion.
03:58Joining us now is another Hudayberdiyev, head of the project management group under the Ministry of Transport.
04:05Mr. Hudayberdiyev, how does electric transport support Uzbekistan's sustainable development and economic growth?
04:12How will the electric transport support Uzbekistan start with empire in the country?
04:17This is a topic ofkindness, and in Iran.
04:18With other countries, Uzbekistan has used servicio as electricity, like the energy of transport, power in Qatar.
04:29These are the dynam riots around waters and the local governments.
04:30You start with military infrastructure, operations, and all campaigns.
04:33in Qatar.
04:34This is the result of the economy in the special sector, and we will be able to get the
