Economic Efficiency of Implementing Eco-Friendly Transport in Uzbekistan
Abstract
The article analyzes the economic efficiency of implementing eco-friendly transport in Uzbekistan, considering global trends and international experience. It examines government incentives for electric vehicle adoption, including tax benefits, the development of charging infrastructure, and localization of production. The study presents the dynamics of electric vehicle imports, an assessment of CO₂ emission reductions, and socio-economic benefits. Key areas for further development are highlighted, including the integration of renewable energy sources and the improvement of public transport. The author concludes that the «green» transport transition is highly economically justified and emphasizes Uzbekistan’s potential in this direction.
