Uzbekistan is increasing the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles through both public and private initiatives, providing clearer signals to consumers and investors.
Uzbekistan aims for electric buses to comprise 50% of urban fleets by 2030, backed by significant investment in modern transit. By July 2025, over 73,000 electric vehicles (EVs) were registered nationwide, with nearly 56,000 in Tashkent, showing strong urban adoption. EV imports are rising rapidly, with around 29,000 electric cars imported between January and August 2025, making up roughly 70% of passenger car imports.

Two tram lines from the Czech Republic now serve Samarkand, carrying up to 10,000 passengers daily, reducing congestion and emissions. As part of the “Green City” initiative, 100 e-buses operate on 10 main routes, each requiring only one daily charge for up to 400 km. By 2030, Tashkent plans to add at least 500 more electric buses.
Domestic production is expanding to meet growing demand for eco-friendly vehicles. BYD began production in 2024 with 4,000 units, exceeding 20,000 in 2025, and plans to produce 50,000 vehicles by 2026.
