Dnipro to upgrade electric transport fleet with over EUR 21 mln, buying 5 trams and 15 trolleybuses - Infrastructure Ministry
More than EUR 21 million will go toward upgrading Dnipro's public electric transport fleet, under which the city will purchase five new trams and 15 low-floor trolleybuses, Ukraine's Ministry for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport reported Wednesday.
Dnipro plans to significantly upgrade its electric transport system, spending over EUR 21 million to acquire five new trams and 15 low-floor trolleybuses, according to Ukraine's Infrastructure Ministry. This purchase, a joint effort between the Ministry for Restoration, Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of Finance, includes trams already manufactured in the city by Ukrainian producer Tatra-Yug.
These new vehicles will serve on the city's first barrier-free route, enhancing accessibility and quality of life for residents. Mykola Kalashnyk, Ukraine's minister for restoration, infrastructure and transport, highlighted the project's support for local manufacturing, with the Dnipro trams featuring up to 70% Ukrainian components and over 100 Ukrainian firms involved in the production process.
Plans call for additional trams and maintenance equipment in subsequent stages, with a further 15 Dnipro T-203 trolleybuses featuring autonomous driving capabilities set to arrive between 2026 and 2027. Once completed, modern low-floor trolleybuses are projected to account for 65% of Dnipro's transport fleet.
