125 electric buses up for grabs in Greece. New tender's out, funded by EU - Sustainable Bus
Briefly

The Greek Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is launching a tender for 125 new electric buses as part of a broader initiative to modernize Athens' urban transportation system. This initiative, funded by the European Recovery and Resilience Facility with €88.35 million, aims to enhance public transport services and reduce environmental impacts. In addition, 250 Yutong e-buses have been awarded for delivery in 2024. This effort reflects a significant investment in electrifying the bus fleet, complementing a larger plan for procuring 950 buses in 2025.
The announcement of this new tender demonstrates the government's commitment to improving public transportation. This project not only advances the full modernization of the fleet but also offers enhanced services to passengers, boosts accessibility, and reduces the environmental footprint.
This is part of a larger initiative to renew the city's bus fleet, with a focus on electric vehicles.
The program is funded by the European Recovery and Resilience Facility, which has allocated €88.35 million for its completion by 2026.
The new electric buses are in addition to a planned procurement of 950 buses in 2025.
