According to the expert, developing the appropriate infrastructure with broad access to electricity plays a particularly important role for the development of electric transport. In addition, government support for this sector is necessary. In Norway, for example, the electric vehicle support system was launched 20 years ago.
After the presentation, consultation participants discussed Norway’s practical experience in using electric transport, its features and impact on climate change, as well as opportunities for interaction with the Norwegian delegation on green transport development issues during the 26th Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Glasgow.
During the discussion, representatives of the Ministry of Economy of the KR noted that Kyrgyzstan, for its part, is also taking measures to develop electric transport. Currently, taxes and customs duties for importing electric vehicles have been reduced to zero, although many issues still remain to be resolved.
Representatives of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Ecology and Technical Supervision noted the importance of the topic under discussion and their readiness for further cooperation with Norwegian colleagues on developing electric transport in Kyrgyzstan.
The “Zhashyl Klimat — Youth Resilience to Climate Change” project is implemented under the general coordination of the Norwegian Society for the Protection of Nature, in partnership with BIOM and GLIP, with the financial support of the European Union.
