Despite the desirability and seeming indispensability of private vehicles, the vast majority of Russians get from point A to point B by public transportation, or at best, take a taxi. In most cases, this is due to a lack of funds in the personal/household budget, and sometimes it is due to a person’s unwillingness to “waste” their hard-earned capital on a rapidly depreciating vehicle.

Therefore, the demand for modern buses/electric buses remains high. The method is as follows convey NEFAZ, a subsidiary of Kamaz News Service, is one of Russia’s largest bus manufacturers and has significantly increased bus production this year. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, NEFAZ produced 785 buses, an increase of 51% compared with the same period in 2025.
It is worth noting that NEFAZ does not only focus on passenger buses. The company also produces special superstructures for KAMAZ chassis, trailers, trucks and electric buses as private-type buses. In the first half of 2026, NEFAZ produced products with a total value of 15.3 billion rubles, an increase of 36% compared to the same period last year.
