City services specialists will install architectural and artistic lighting on 11 buildings in the city center, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Urban Development. Petr Biryukov.

"We've developed a special lighting design for 11 buildings located on Arbat Street. The main goal is to integrate these buildings into Moscow's unified lighting and color scheme. Power engineers from JSC UEK will install a total of over 700 energy-efficient lamps," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

Buildings in various architectural styles, from neoclassical to modern, will be equipped with lighting. For example, the M.A. Skvortsov Apartment Building will receive it: lights will be placed along the cornice above the third floor and in the spaces between the second- and third-floor windows to highlight various decorative elements.

The Orlovs' apartment building will also be transformed, with lighting installed in the spaces between the windows between the first, second, and third floors. A.I. Urusov's apartment building will also be illuminated.

In accordance with the adopted concept, all new lighting in the capital is warm or neutral white and moderately bright. This allows for the careful accentuation of building details and elements, creating a unified light space.

Over the past 13 years, Moscow's lighting levels have doubled, and the number of buildings with architectural and artistic lighting has quadrupled. In total, over a million lighting fixtures have been installed in the capital, with energy consumption reduced thanks to the use of energy-efficient LEDs.

The Krasnaya Pakhra, Mitino, and Saltykovka electric bus depots serve 47 eco-friendly routes, which currently carry over 190,000 trips per weekday. This represents a 20 percent increase from the beginning of the year, according to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"Moscow is a leader among European cities in terms of the number of electric vehicles and their use. Today, more than 2,570 Russian-made electric buses serve 240 city routes. Since 2022, three innovative electric bus shelters have been built in the capital, equipped with everything necessary for driver comfort and vehicle maintenance. We will continue to develop our eco-friendly transport network, as Sergei Sobyanin instructed," noted Maxim Liksutov.

This year, electric bus depots received 65 environmentally friendly new-generation A5 KamAZ-52222 vehicles and began serving eight more routes in 20 districts of the capital. The depots feature restrooms, a cafeteria, showers, and changing rooms for employees, as well as maintenance facilities and gantry car washes with a recirculating water system.

New generation of electric buses

Replacing one bus with an electric bus reduces carbon dioxide emissions by more than 60 tons per year. This type of transport is suitable for everyone: it features a folding ramp and call buttons for passengers with limited mobility, as well as a storage area for strollers, bicycles, and large luggage. Inside, there are charging ports for gadgets and media screens with useful route information. A smooth ride and the absence of noise and vibration also contribute to a comfortable ride.

You can pay for your fare using any convenient payment method using digital validators. Electric buses deploy an air curtain when the doors open, helping maintain a comfortable temperature inside. For passenger safety, the vehicles are equipped with video cameras both inside and outside.

Moscow was the first city in Russia to begin building modern electric bus depots. In 2022, Russia's first and Europe's largest electric bus depot, "Krasnaya Pakhra," opened in the New Moscow administrative district. These eco-friendly vehicles began operating in the Novomoskovsky and Troitsky administrative districts. A year later, the "Mitino" depot was built in the northwest. With its arrival, electric buses began operating in 20 districts of the capital and two nearby cities in the Moscow region. A third innovative electric bus depot, "Saltykovka," opened in late 2023. It serves routes in the east of the city. Electric buses are also used at nine modernized Mosgortrans sites.

More electric bus routes

In 2025, the new-generation KAMAZ-52222 electric buses entered service. These eco-friendly vehicles are even more comfortable—they feature an improved interior layout, a 15 percent larger storage area, redesigned doors, and light strips with opening and closing indicators. The climate control system has become even more efficient, and there are also storage compartments for carry-on luggage. The exterior of the electric buses has been updated to reflect current trends in global industrial design.

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