Kazakhstan: China-backed electric buses drive Kazakhstan's shift to sustainable development
Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, is pressing ahead with its green economy drive, with electric vehicles produced in partnership with China playing a key role in the shift toward cleaner and more sustainable development. Long plagued by air pollution due to its basin geography and rapid urban expansion, Almaty has made electric mobility a cornerstone of its environmental strategy. As of April 1, the city had nearly 8,400 registered electric cars, many of which are linked to Chinese technology and cooperation, according to the national statistic bureau. At the country's largest electric bus factory in Semey, eastern Kazakhstan, production lines are operating at full capacity. The plan to produce some 300 electric buses annually across three production lines has bolstered workers' confidence. All components are imported from China and assembled locally, and hundreds of Kazakh workers have received training from Chinese experts. The first batch of 60 buses, co-produced by Kazakhstan and China, was assembled in under three months and has already been put into service in Almaty. Veteran driver Yerbol Taubaltyev, who spent 26 years driving gasoline and diesel vehicles, now offers passengers a safer and more comfortable daily commute. By the end of this year, Almaty plans to add another 240 electric buses, aiming to establish Kazakhstan's first all-electric public transport fleet. Cooperation with China is expanding into electric passenger cars, with a new joint factory beginning trial production and expected to create 3,600 jobs. Leveraging Chinese expertise, the facility is designed to reach an annual output of 120,000 cars, targeting not only Kazakhstan but the broader Central Asian market.
