On the sidelines of the Tashkent International Investment Forum (TIIF-2026), the suburban transit operator "Shahar Atrofida Yo‘lovchi Tashish" LLC (a subsidiary of Uzbekistan Railways JSC) and the leading Czech engineering concern Škoda Transportation signed a firm contract for the supply of 10 modern electric trains.

The most critical advantage of the concluded agreement is the shift away from a traditional direct import model toward the deep integration of manufacturing operations: a joint venture will be established in Uzbekistan for the technical maintenance and rapid servicing of the acquired trainsets. This strategic step will not only localize advanced European engineering expertise within the republic but also generate new high-tech jobs for domestic specialists. The signing of this contract lays a long-term foundation for expanding the bilateral economic and industrial partnership between Uzbekistan and the Czech Republic in the transport sector.
