Minister: Azerbaijan plans to fully electrify its bus fleet by 2030

Azerbaijan plans to fully electrify its bus fleet by 2030, the country’s Minister of Digital Development and Transport Rashad Nabiyev said at the High-Level Roundtable titled "Green Urban Transport" held within the framework of the Ministerial Meeting on Urbanization and Climate at COP29.

"We have implemented bus lanes and optimized bus routes. This helps reduce bus congestion and increase the speed of buses in Baku city from 18 to 22 kilometers per hour, increases service frequency, and makes bus travel more attractive for passengers. The optimized network is expected to reduce peak hour travel time and expand public transport. Additionally, we plan to expand the existing bus fleet and achieve full electrification by 2030," he emphasized.
