Moscow has signed a contract for the delivery of 100 LiAZ-6274 electric buses. The eco-friendly vehicles will begin arriving in fleets this year and will gradually be introduced on new routes, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"Since 2018, Moscow has been actively replacing its buses with modern Russian-made electric buses. Today, these eco-friendly vehicles serve over 250 city routes. We continue to expand the network and modernize the capital's transportation system, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin," added Maxim Liksutov.

The city is actively developing a network of environmentally friendly ground transportation. Modern Russian-made electric buses make travel even more comfortable for passengers.

Advantages of electric buses

Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 tons per year. Thanks to a smooth ride and the absence of noise and vibration, modern transport provides a high level of passenger comfort. Charging ports for gadgets and media screens with useful route information are available on board.

Electric buses are convenient for all passengers. They feature a folding ramp and driver-call buttons for passengers with limited mobility, as well as a storage area for strollers and bicycles. All electric buses meet the highest safety and service standards.

Starting in 2022, upgraded vehicles will be delivered to the capital. These vehicles feature adaptive interior lighting, which changes from a cool to a warm hue at 2:00 PM. The front route indicator has been enlarged by 18 percent to ensure the license plate is visible from a distance. An electric heater maintains an optimal interior temperature without affecting the environment. The driving range has increased from 40–50 to 80–90 kilometers, while the vehicle's weight remains the same.

Modern models

In 2025, the new-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses entered service. They are even more comfortable thanks to an improved interior layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, additional carry-on luggage space, and a redesigned door. The climate control system has been made more efficient, and the doors now feature light strips indicating opening and closing. The buses' exterior now better aligns with contemporary trends in global industrial design.

The new electric buses are being developed based on operating experience from earlier models and passenger feedback. Moscow's order for the new technology supports employment in the regions and stimulates the development of domestic industry.

Electric bus depots

Today, eco-friendly transport is operated at 12 Mosgortrans sites. Moscow was the first city in Russia to build modern electric bus depots. In 2022, the country's first and Europe's largest electric bus depot, "Krasnaya Pakhra," opened in the New Moscow and Moscow-Namos administrative districts. These eco-friendly buses began operating in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. A year later, the "Mitino" depot was built in northwest Moscow. With its opening, electric buses began operating on routes in 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities in the Moscow region. At the end of 2023, a third innovative electric bus depot, "Saltykovka," opened. It serves routes in the east of the city.

With new equipment deliveries and the development of charging infrastructure, even more electric bus routes will appear in the city. In 2025, Moscow signed contracts with PAO KAMAZ for the delivery of 1,100 new-generation electric buses between 2025 and 2027.

In accordance with the objectives of the national project Infrastructure for Life Moscow is placing significant emphasis on modernizing its social and public infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient public transportation routes and upgrading its rolling stock. Furthermore, as part of its national project, Moscow has begun developing the Central Transportation Hub. It will become a unified transport system with predictable commuter rail service for over 30 million residents in 11 Russian regions.

Electronic document management was introduced on the supplier portal more than five years ago. Since then, government customers and entrepreneurs have signed over three million universal transfer documents (UTDs). Their use improves the efficiency of procurement processes and promotes environmental stewardship, according to the head of the Moscow Department of Competition Policy. Kirill Purtov.

"In the spring of 2020, electronic document management was launched on the supplier portal. Since then, customers and entrepreneurs have signed 3.1 million universal transfer documents. The use of UDTs contributes to increased contracting efficiency: it automates procurement processes, helps participants reduce costs, ensures the speed and security of transactions, and promotes environmental stewardship. For example, since the beginning of 2025, nearly 800,000 electronic contract documents have been signed on the portal. This has saved at least 3,000 reams of office paper and 185 trees," said Kirill Purtov.

Using a UPD also reduces printing, storage, and administrative costs. It's also convenient for users: documents are always accessible from anywhere, which is especially important when working remotely. A universal transfer document serves as both an invoice and an acceptance certificate for entrepreneurs. The UPD can be signed electronically in the personal account and sent to the customer, after which the goods are accepted, registered, and paid.

The high level of digitalization of processes and the use of universal transfer documents enable not only the prompt acceptance of products but also the faster transfer of payments to suppliers for goods, work, and services. For example, while federal law stipulates seven business days for contract payment, this figure for Moscow-based institutions averages no more than four days. This further engages businesses in government procurement, and the volume of contracts is growing.

As noted in the capital Department of Information TechnologyThe portal also offers a built-in API service that simplifies the creation of universal transfer documents for businesses. It allows you to create a UDT in your company's accounting system and then automatically transfer it to the portal. Any accounting system can be connected to the service, saving suppliers time on document preparation and acceptance, and ensuring more reliable control over contract deadlines.

Supplier portal Created in 2013 to automate small-volume procurement, the platform offers over 3.2 million unique goods, works, and services. Approximately 1,500 contracts are concluded on the platform daily.

The functional customer of the supplier portal is Moscow City Department for Competition Policy, and the capital oversees technical development Department of Information Technology.

Moscow's contract system consistently demonstrates high efficiency in the national rankings procurement transparencyBy standardizing procedures, implementing digital technologies, and engaging small businesses, Moscow's government procurement system ensures savings at every stage of the process.

Moscow's clinics and hospitals have begun decorating for the New Year. This was reported by Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

"Moscow is gradually transforming for the holidays: streets, squares, and parks are being decorated, and social institutions are not left out. This year, Moscow colleges helped us develop the winter decoration concept for our clinics, hospitals, "My Documents" government service centers, and other facilities. Furthermore, students gave a true gift to the children who will be attending children's clinics by creating and installing beautiful New Year's installations there, including brightly colored trains, drums, nutcrackers, and horses. Today, we are opening the garden at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Hospital, where summer flowers are giving way to New Year's decorations. Beautiful Christmas trees and installations have been installed—everything to create a festive mood. The garden is open to all visitors, so we invite residents and guests of the capital to our New Year's fairy tale. I sincerely hope that Muscovites will enjoy the winter decorations of the city's clinics and hospitals, and that they will be even more enthusiastic about taking care of their health," said Anastasia Rakova.

In addition to the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care, other Moscow hospitals have also been decorated with festive décor. N.I. Pirogov Hospital No. 1 is now home to horses, symbols of the New Year; Filatov Hospital features brightly colored giraffes; and colorful teddy bears will greet patients at the new complex of St. Vladimir Hospital.

The children's clinics also featured 150 sets of unique hand-made installations created by students from Moscow colleges. The work on the toys took over six months. A team of students from various years and disciplines worked at the college's training and production facility, as well as in the carpentry and painting workshops. There, they sketched and drew the designs, assembled, and painted the finished parts. The pieces were crafted on modern CNC machines, as well as universal lathes and milling machines. The new "Center" practical training facility, which opened at the college in the spring of 2025, was used for this work.

"For our students, this project was an opportunity to do something important for the city. Together with their mentors, the students developed designs, created drawings and 3D models, and calculated the strength of the components. They then carved the wooden figures, sanded them, painted them, and assembled them by hand. Each participant contributed their own ideas and professional skills. The result is installations that can be played with and photographed. We hope this initiative will become a New Year's tradition," noted Ivan Stepanov, Director of the Likhachev Moscow Technological College.

Ivan Vlasov and Vladislav Tsarev, third- and fourth-year students, developed the drawings and 3D model of the tree. Second-year students Alexander Ishutin and Daniil Beschetnov cut the wooden figures, sanded them, and adjusted them. Second-year student Evgeny Alekseev and first-year students Artem Erastov and Denis Zhabin painted the pieces and assembled them.

Christmas trees have been decorated and festive garlands have been hung in adult clinics. In addition, patients in both children's and adult clinics can see festive art objects—golden teddy bears with candy and bows. This image is traditionally associated with the holiday and evokes warm memories.

The facades of women's health centers are also adorned with garlands featuring themed animations. Large ice sculptures with frozen flowers illuminated from within stand in front of the building, resembling a fragile winter garden. The main focal point is a large sphere resembling a diamond, with frozen flowers hidden inside. The main idea behind the design is to combine the tranquility of winter with a caring attitude toward health.

The Sklifosovsky Research Institute's Gratitude to Doctors and Medicine Garden has already been decorated with fir trees, sparkling baubles, and crystals. The new complex of the St. Vladimir Children's City Clinical Hospital now features colorful teddy bears and digital screens with warm messages for doctors, patients, and medical staff.

Festive installations will soon adorn other social infrastructure facilities, such as the My Documents government service centers and Wedding Palace No. 4.
