A 7500 mile journey across Asia along the old Silk Road

Two more of these little buses that run around Samarkand. If you look carefully you will see they are branded SamAuto which as you might expect is a conflation of Samarkand Automobile Factory. Originally owned 50/50 with a Turkish company it is now 100% Uzbek, but Isuzu of Japan has an interest. The bus on the left runs on CNG: 'Compressed Natural Gas' as a result of harnessing Isuzu technology.
