President Ilham Aliyev familiarized himself in Baku with equipment for household waste transportation

On March 2, President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev viewed municipal waste transportation vehicles in the courtyard of the Baku Expo Center.

As reported by AZERTAC, these vehicles, manufactured at the Ganja Automobile Plant by order of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, will be dispatched to various cities and districts of our country.

Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Rashad Ismayilov and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Ganja Automobile Plant production association Khanlar Fatiyev informed the head of state about the project.

It was noted that a total of 70 units of municipal vehicles with a capacity of 22 cubic meters each were manufactured within the framework of the project. The municipal vehicles are planned to be dispatched to 58 cities and districts of Azerbaijan from two locations - in front of the Expo Center in Baku and from the automobile plant yard in the city of Ganja.

In Azerbaijan, alongside Baku, projects aimed at developing the regions, creating modern social infrastructure there, including the establishment of parks, green and forest zones, and thereby improving the overall environmental situation in the country continue consistently. From this perspective, dispatching waste transportation vehicles to cities and districts of the republic combines several important factors. First and foremost, this will contribute to improving the quality of municipal services and the sanitary-hygienic situation in the regions. Thus, modern new vehicles will ensure timely and efficient transportation of household waste, as well as better cleaning of populated areas. In addition, the project plays an important role in terms of environmental protection. Another important aspect of the project is that these vehicles are locally manufactured. Overall, to date, the Ganja Automobile Plant has produced a large number of tractors, combines, other agricultural machinery, passenger and cargo vehicles, and other equipment.

The Ganja Automobile Plant was established in 1986 on the initiative of national leader Heydar Aliyev. In 2004, this production facility began operating by order of President Ilham Aliyev. Currently, about 500 people work at the plant.
