The NGO Vision Zero has presented two new studies on the state of electric public transport in Ukraine. The materials analyze how effectively the sector is operating and what needs to be changed to bring it up to modern European standards.
Comparison of legislation and technical standards of Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Italy
The first study, “Comparative analysis of legislative and technical regulations for electric public transport in Ukraine and the EU” , compares Ukrainian regulations and standards with European ones. The authors analyze how Ukraine can adapt its regulations to successfully modernize and rebuild its electric public transport infrastructure.
The document reveals what exactly is the difference between Ukrainian and European norms, what changes need to be made to the legislation so that the norms cease to be overly restrictive, and what is needed to harmonize standards with the EU in order to achieve development.
Energy efficiency of electric public transport enterprises
The second study, "Energy Efficiency of Electric Transport Enterprises in Ukraine" , is devoted to practical aspects of urban electric transport - energy consumption. The study assesses how Ukrainian enterprises use electricity and offers recommended ways to increase energy efficiency. A comparison was also made with a similar electric public transport enterprise in Poland and a rating of the most energy-efficient cities in Ukraine was compiled.
These studies are an important step towards modernizing and improving the efficiency of Ukrainian public transport. Read the full texts of the studies at the links below to learn more about the future of electric transport in Ukraine:

About the project:
The materials were developed within the framework of the project “Reform of Electric Public Transport of Ukraine”, which was implemented by the NGO “Vision Zero” from August 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The project was implemented in cooperation with the Association “Energy Efficient Cities of Ukraine” within the framework of grant support from the European Climate Foundation. Responsibility for the information and views expressed in the materials lies with the authors of the study. The European Climate Foundation cannot be held responsible for any use of the information presented in the studies and does not necessarily share the opinions, assessments and conclusions given in them.
