Krasnoyarsk upgrades its street-cleaning fleet with new machinery
Krasnoyarsk has taken delivery of its first batch of new street-cleaning machinery. The equipment includes sidewalk vacuums, with more specialised vehicles expected soon. Mayor Sergei Vereshchagin announced the upgrade as part of a broader plan to modernise the city's cleaning fleet.
The city will add 50 new units of road maintenance equipment in total. Alongside the sidewalk vacuums, larger machinery such as water-pumping vehicles will arrive in the coming months. All new equipment will only enter service once drivers complete training and procurement checks are finished.
Over the past two years, at least 12 other Russian cities and regions have made similar investments. Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg and Krasnodar have all upgraded their cleaning fleets. Many of these purchases were funded through federal urban development programmes.
The expanded fleet aims to improve street maintenance across Krasnoyarsk. The rollout follows a trend seen in major cities nationwide, where modern equipment has become a priority. Officials have not yet set a specific date for when the full fleet will be operational.
