CEECSTE Expert Highlights China’s Green Transport Innovation After Research Visit

Recent Days — Professor Mamadamon Abdullo, a core expert of the Central and Eastern Europe—China Science and Technology Exchange Association (CEECSTE) and Professor of Transport Engineering at Tajik Technical University, shared his assessment of China’s green transport development following a recent research visit to China.

Professor Abdullo, formerly Vice President for Research and International Relations at the university, participated in the “High-Level Overseas Talent China Tour”, an expert exchange program coordinated by CEECSTE. His visit and observations were later featured in an interview with China Global Television Network (CGTN) and reported by leading Tajik media outlets, including Khovar and Pressa.TJ.

During the interview, Professor Abdullo praised China’s progress in sustainable mobility. “Over the past 30 years, China has made remarkable advances in green transportation,” he said. “As a researcher working on electric transport systems, I was impressed by the depth of technological innovation I observed.”

He highlighted his visit to BYD, noting the company’s strong research capacity. “The level of investment in R&D and the frequency of patent applications clearly reflect a technology-driven approach. Innovations in batteries, electric drivetrains and vehicle design are particularly advanced.”

Professor Abdullo also connected China’s experience with Tajikistan’s energy structure. “More than 95 percent of Tajikistan’s electricity comes from renewable sources. China’s rapid development in electric mobility offers valuable reference points for countries seeking to reduce fuel imports and emissions.”

Beyond technology, he emphasized the importance of education and expert-led cooperation. As a CEECSTE expert, he noted that structured collaboration with Chinese institutions — including Luban Workshop–style training platforms — provides students with practical skills aligned with future transport needs.

“Transport electrification is a long-term global trend,” Professor Abdullo concluded. “Through expert exchanges and applied research, we can accelerate the transition toward more efficient and environmentally responsible transport systems.”
