Sailing Towards Collaboration: Moscow and Sao Paulo Unite for Eco-Friendly River Transport

The Moscow City Government has forged a groundbreaking alliance with Sao Paulo's administration to jointly advance environmentally friendly river transport systems. According to TV BRICS, this strategic partnership aims to craft innovative passenger transport solutions, beginning with a pilot project introducing electric vessels into Sao Paulo's river networks.

Moscow, which has successfully operated electric river transport for two years, offers a model that has garnered acclaim from both residents and tourists. Per TV BRICS, Moscow's experience positions it to assist cities worldwide in embracing sustainable transport initiatives. Eager to share its success, Moscow collaborates with Sao Paulo to enhance the latter's urban transport infrastructure.

Angela Vidal Martins Gandra, Municipal Secretary for International Relations in Sao Paulo, highlighted the significance of leveraging Moscow's water transport advancements. As reported by TV BRICS, she stressed the need to integrate such insights into Sao Paulo's mobility strategies. Meanwhile, Sao Paulo's Deputy Municipal Secretary for Urban Mobility and Transport, Rafael Toniato, expressed confidence in the beneficial exchange of knowledge.

Sao Paulo officials engaged in a specialized training course focusing on intelligent transport systems. They toured key Moscow transport facilities, gaining firsthand insights. This experience provided Brazilian officials an understanding of Moscow's infrastructure and its potential to revolutionize Sao Paulo's transport systems, according to TV BRICS.

This collaboration is part of a series of initiatives, including previous engagements with officials from countries like Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Iraq, showcasing Moscow's expanding influence as a leader in sustainable urban mobility solutions, as noted by TV BRICS (ANI).
