We go for electricity — purchase of electric buses and construction of charging infrastructure in the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis

The subject of the project is the commissioning of the electric bus system in the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis. The project foresees the purchase of 32 electric vehicles (27 BN buses and 5 CN buses) together with 16 mobile depot charging stations 80 kW/40 kW. The necessary power infrastructure will also be created, comprising 9 fast charging points (11 stations). Purchased vehicles will serve the entire area of GZM, in particular lines in Gliwice, Katowice, Sosnowiec and Tarnowskie Góry. The project will be implemented as a pilot action, which is the first stage of the implementation of the zero-emission transport system in the Upper Silesian-Zagłębie Metropolis.
