The Ministry of Transport has proposed amending the law on the organization of the transport of passengers and luggage, which would introduce a mandatory percentage of electric vehicles in taxi fleets. The department believes this will contribute to the development of electric transport infrastructure.
As Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports with reference to the bill, regions will be able to impose requirements on the environmental class of a vehicle used as a passenger taxi. The methodology for determining the minimum number of ‘electric trains’ must be approved by them individually. The ministry does not want to say exactly how this will happen and how it will monitor compliance with the order.
The International Eurasian Taxi Forum (IETF) believes that introducing quotas for electric vehicles “makes little sense” without preparing the right infrastructure, and reducing prices at electric gas stations – while the cost per kilowatt hour is more than 12 to amounts to 18 rubles. , passenger transport is no longer profitable.
