Belarus / Kazakhstan - Belkommunmash of Minsk, Belarus, a producer of trams, trolleybuses and more recently low floor full electric buses, used the inaugural Busworld Central Asia exhibition in Almaty, Kazakhstan to display two scale-models of its electric buses; the Electrobus Е321 (a 12.2m, 18t gvw, low floor, three double-doors, 180kW motor and passenger capacity of 83 with 26 seats) and the Vitovt Electro Е420 (a two-axle low-floor vehicle with two sets of double doors between the axles).
A spokesman for Belkommunmash at the show said it was the company’s intention to export more electric vehicles: This year it shipped four electric buses and two charging units to Uzbekistan and, by the end of the year it would also have delivered both electric trams and trolley buses to Uzbekistan. In the past year it has also shipped several electric trolley buses to cities in Moldova, Kyrgyzstan and St. Petersburg in Russia.
