First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov instructed the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in conjunction with the Ministry of Education, to work on the procurement of domestically produced school buses from the federal budget in 2026, as well as their distribution across Russia's regions.
The school bus fleet renewal program for 2025–2030 is being implemented in accordance with the Russian President's directive to annually purchase at least 3,000 new, domestically produced, highly localized school buses from budgetary funds for priority use in small towns and rural areas.
As a reminder, in 2025, the Ministry of Industry and Trade delivered approximately 3,100 school buses worth over 11 billion rubles to educational institutions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Thanks to a government decision in December 2024, the corresponding purchase was fully funded in advance, facilitating the timely production of the equipment at domestic enterprises—AZ NAZ, PAZ, KAVZ, and UAZ.
