The proceeds of the Banks loan and the grant funds will be used to (i) expand and improve Citys public passenger transport and (ii) reduce the energy consumption and carbon footprint of the street lighting system, while enhancing road security and safety at night by improving the quality of street lighting.
The Project envisages: (i) purchase of approximately 22 battery trolleybuses, with autonomous propulsion for up to 20 kilometres, for an estimated amount of up to EUR 5.8 million, and (ii) modernisation of street lighting on priority streets, for an estimated amount of up to EUR 1.2 million.
Project Objectives
The Project will promote resource efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions and other pollutants in the city by expanding the energy-efficient trolleybus service, as well as supporting route flexibility and resilience due to innovative autonomous battery. This enables the trolleybus to drive around potential accidents/roadworks, deliver mobility to areas without overhead lines, and also continue safe operations in the case of a grid failures where overhead charging is not available. It will also improve energy efficiency in the city by modernising its street lighting infrastructure. |
