A trilateral meeting between representatives of the Chinese company CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles, the Bishkek City Hall and Kyrgyz Temir Zholu state enterprise was organized in the capital with the assistance of the Trade Mission of the Kyrgyz Republic under the Ministry of Economy and Commerce of Kyrgyzstan in Uzbekistan.
The main topic of discussion was the possibility of building monorail roads in Bishkek and the prospects for their further development. During the negotiations, the parties agreed to study in detail all aspects of the implementation of this project, including its economic and technical feasibility.
The City Hall will present the sketches of the construction of monorail roads for study to the Chinese side. The city authorities also emphasized that this project can be implemented within the framework of a public-private partnership, which opens up additional opportunities for attracting foreign investors.
Kyrgyz Temir Zholu state enterprise expressed interest in hybrid electric trains, which will significantly reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere and improve the environmental friendliness of rail transport in Kyrgyzstan.
Implementation of the monorail roads project in Bishkek will significantly improve the capital’s transport infrastructure, providing a convenient and modern means of transportation for city residents. The new type of transport will reduce the load on the existing road network, reduce travel time and increase the mobility of the population.
