Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) – The Government of Uzbekistan wants to transfer the Uzavtosanoat company to the production of exclusively electric vehicles and more. This is envisaged by the decree of the Government of Uzbekistan from 29 December 2020.

The document notes that Uzavtosanoat will switch to the production of only passenger cars and motor vehicles with electric motors.

The government of Uzbekistan instructed to attract foreign experts and consulting companies to develop a draft concept by 1 February 2021.

The tax is also canceled for purchase of electric vehicles within the country and (or) temporary importation (paid when registering a car with the Ministry of Internal Affairs). The government instructed the Ministry of Finance to take this into account when formulating the budget for 2021 and subsequent years.

According to the document, the ministries and local khokimiyats will develop a "road map" for the installation of charging stations (terminals) for electric transport within two months.
