Possibilities of using electric trucks in the Republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

This study examines the possibility of using electric trucks in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The relevance of this topic is due to the fact that a significant increase in interest in electric vehicles and environmental friendliness of transport necessitates the search for alternative energy sources for trucks. Electric trucks are one of the promising options for replacing traditional trucks powered by gasoline or diesel in Kazakhstan. The main advantage of electric trucks lies in low operating costs and the absence of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, which improves air quality and contributes to the environmental sustainability of cities. The subject of this study is aspects of the introduction of electric trucks in Kazakhstan, as well as charging infrastructure, logistics problems and government support opportunities. The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using electric trucks in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the activities of transport companies was carried out, as well as a comparative analysis of freight transport with an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The methodological basis of this study is logical and structural analyses. In the course of the work, a system-structural analysis based on general theoretical, statistical, and scientific sources was used. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the use of electric trucks is beneficial both for transport companies and for the environment, but an insufficiently developed transport infrastructure hinders the use of ecological transport.
