10.09.2020
"Electron Concern ", Lviv City Council,
"Lvivelectrotrans" LPU and the
concern of private carriers "Ecopastrans" signed the memorandum,
which provides for the purchase of 250
electric buses by the city, 200 units of which will be purchased by private carriers.
As the participants
of signing of the document emphasized, electric transport has been identified
as a priority for Lviv in the city`s development. Private carriers have
carefully studied the four-year experience of the first, so far the only electric
"Electron" bus and decided to
almost completely upgrade all its rolling stock and replace old minibuses with
a park of 200 modern, environmentally benign
and economical cars, and 50 electric buses will replenish the city's
park of electric transport.
To do this,
"Electron" Concern will develop a new 10-meter electric bus in
accordance with the technical requirements of customers, arising from the
peculiarities of the operation of transport on the routes of Lviv. And as the
president of "Electron" Concern Yuri Bubes assured, the powerful
industrial potential of enterprises and a high degree of localization of
production - the own production of parts, assemblies and units for electric
vehicles, allows to offer a good price
for the purchase of a qualitative new
equipment. And the implementation of this project, estimated for three years,
will create a powerful hub in Lviv for the production of modern eco-vehicles.
It is assumed that the first model of a new
"Electron" electric bus will appear in eight months, after which its
serial production will begin.
