Those Busses look great. Kamaz the Truck/Bus manufacturer from Russia have won the Contract to provide electric Buses to Mendoza in Argentina ! Thanks for sharing…….

Moscow has the biggest electric buses fleet, because they have replaced the trolleybuses. Moscow used to have vast extensive network of trolleybus routes, but Mayor of Moscow along with the Department of Public Transit have decided there's too much wires overhead. Thus they've placed the bid to choose from several models of electric buses, and later all the trolleybuses and the power wires were removed from streets in favor of electric buses. Only one trolleybus route now remans as the heritage and sightseeing route in the city centre.
BTW, the letters on the side of the vehicle say "THIS IS ELECTROBUS".

Perfect !
And how clean it is in Moscow.
Cant find that in the US

Russia is way ahead of American cities in terms of an electrified bus fleet. We're just getting the ZX5's from Proterra here in Chicago for just one route.

1 year ago you had 17 subscribers, and a year later already 40 thousand. Success! I wish you good luck with your videos!

Thanks for report. We need more of these in Europe. Moscow is way ahead.

I work at the enterprise where we produce these electric buses

Your videos are so fun. It’s so interesting to see the differences from what we have in the US. Always a pleasure to see your smile too. Hope you are getting to spend some quality time with Jen.

Quote:
-Moscow was ranked third in the UN–HABITAT City Prosperity Index. UN experts analyzed the following developments in 29 major cities of the world: infrastructure, equity and social inclusion, quality of life, productivity, environmental sustainability and urban governance and legislation.
The Russian capital scored 67.98 points, coming third after Singapore (75.49) and Toronto (68.29). The top 10 also included Sydney, London, Paris, Madrid, Shanghai, Hong Kong and New York.
However, Moscow topped the Infrastructure Development Rating with 83.2 points, overtaking Hong Kong (78.16). The Infrastructure Development Index takes into account housing and social infrastructure, information and communications technology, urban mobility and other indicators.
Moscow also ranked first in the Quality of Life Dimension Ranking, which accounts for a total of 14 indicators, such as health, education, recreation, safety and others-
..
So these buses helps a lot at infrastructure and quality of life, i guess :)

Good job, keep telling the story as honest as possible.

Hey Russell thanks for the look at the electric buses in Moscow that was very interesting definitely could use something like that here in San Francisco area of the buses in San Francisco use electricity but they usually overhead cantilever type system to provide their power and are not like the bus is there in Moscow

на данный момент уже 1000 эксплуатируется в Москве, а к 2024 году их планируют нарастить 2, 2 тысячи. Как_тебе_такое_Илон_Маск

Lindo video, saludos desde Argentina.

Well no surprise there at all. The concept of electrically driven buses was implemented extensively throughout Soviet Union cities in the form of trolleybuses before. So basically these are wireless trolleybuses

I could be wrong, but the beginning of the shooting seems to be near the Kievsky railway station in Moscow (a glass bridge across the Moscow River is visible behind Russell). Familiar places, I worked there ..

[Ivanovskiy_baryga]

Я работал недалеко от киевского вокзала, за 2-3года многое изменилось)) вспоминаю кадры из Превосходство Борна и сейчас, площадь у киевского вокзала поменялась очень сильно, как и вся Москва

[ВитяЧекмарёв-пф]

На другой стороне реки. Дом полукругом, это дом -архитекторов. Построенный в 1938 году. Кстати вечером, оттуда тоже хороший вид на вокзал, площадь и Москва-Сити. 👍Спасибо Вам за обзоры. Интересно.

TBH in the beginning, changing all our trolleybuses with electric buses seemed like a bad idea, and i was not very fond of my mayor, but in the end, other cities got trolleybuses in pretty good condition (i was living for 9 years near trolleybus depot and seen a lot of units, most of them are ok), which is good in my opinion, and electric buses are not that bad. Yes, first packs were not good, but problems were solved and now i can say, that Sobyanin was right in that decision.

Hi Russel. Another fun fact about Russian public transport: our trains never go off schedule. Suburban and long distance trains are always on time. I know it for sure as I live near a big train hub and literally see arriving trains every day. In Germany, where they are said to be punctual, trains are often late. I even missed a flight once because my train was delayed by half an hour. That’s unimaginable in Russia! Go and check it )))
