Ikarus and Yutong have jointly submitted the most competitive bid for Budapest's trolleybus procurement, initiated by the BKK, covering up to 160 battery-powered trolleybuses. The economic viability of the project relies on pending EU funding, casting uncertainty on delivery timelines. Ikarus-Yutong's offer outperformed competitors with lower unit prices, despite Ikarus's lack of trolleybus production and Yutong's past deployments primarily in China and Latin America. Bozankaya, a Turkish manufacturer, closely trails with higher bids but attractive maintenance costs, underscoring a competitive landscape that influences Budapest's ambitious public transport expansion plans by 2030.
Ikarus and Yutong have submitted the most competitive bid for Budapest's latest trolleybus procurement, which aims to double the city's trolleybus routes by 2030.
The bid includes the lowest unit prices for solo and articulated trolleybuses; Ikarus does not currently make trolleybuses, yet offers Yutong's electric bus designs.
