Summary sheet
The project consists of the purchase of modern light rail vehicles, and the refurbishment and construction of related infrastructure.
The project will increase the attractiveness of public transport in the region and promote sustainable transport, thus contributing to the EIB's climate action priority objective.
Manufacture of the new train sets will take place in the manufacturer's plant and does not fall within the scope of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU; therefore no EIA is required for this component. Compliance of the new depot, the expansion of existing depot and associated facilities (i.e. infrastructure, if any) will be analysed during appraisal.
The promoter is subject to and follows public procurement rules according to EU regulations. The procurement process followed for these trains, as for the other projects components, will be reviewed during appraisal.
