Moscow started to replace outdated diesel buses with electric buses in September 2018. The replacement of a diesel bus with an e-bus leads to an average reduction of the CO 2 emissions in the environment of 60.7 The conversion of buses to the electric traction will help to increase the share of e-transport rides up to 70%.
