For reference: these scooters are particularly convenient for operating on the narrow streets of urban mahallas, enabling efficient waste collection and transportation. In addition, the two-seat cabin is equipped with cooling and heating systems adapted for both summer and winter seasons.

A gasoline-powered scooter, with a fuel consumption of 6 liters, can transport up to 1 ton, or 3.5 cubic meters, of waste over a distance of up to 100 km. Electric scooters are equipped with a 72-volt, 150-ampere-hour battery, enabling them to transport up to 1 ton of cargo over a distance of 60–80 km.

Such measures are being implemented in accordance with paragraph 53 of the protocol of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated November 11, 2025, which provides for the one-year pilot introduction of a system for collecting solid household waste from households using scooters in one district or city of each region and the city of Tashkent.

The main objective is to improve the quality of services by enhancing the infrastructure conditions of sanitation enterprises in the regions, while also increasing public satisfaction.
