Overview
- The 'Green Station' pilot completed its final trial on Nov. 7 and has entered implementation with plans for seven solar-plus‑storage charging stations along the roughly 700 km Ulaanbaatar–Zamyn‑Üüd corridor and procurement to support about 200 heavy electric trucks.
- Project designers plan a megawatt‑scale charger at key sites so large, trailer‑towed loads can be recharged using daytime solar generation and stored energy for night operations, which aims to cut fuel reliance and lower transport costs by up to 30 percent.
- A joint anti‑corruption task force of the Anti‑Corruption Agency, police and intelligence services has intensified probes of major Ulaanbaatar projects, charging multiple people, freezing hundreds of billions of togrog in accounts and seeking an Interpol notice for former mayor H. Nyambaatar.
- Investigators report no documentary proof so far that the widely reported $110 million in cash was distributed in the Tavantolgoi railway financing; audit work shows a different pattern of togrog payments and auditors’ records are being reviewed in the criminal inquiry.
- Local communities and lawyers continue legal challenges to special‑purpose coal roads that cross habitats for rare species, raising the risk of project delays and forcing central agencies to re‑examine who has legal authority to approve infrastructure that affects endangered wildlife.
