Coût total (montant approximatif)

EUR 40 million

Aspects environnementaux

The supply of rolling stock does not fall within the scope of EU environmental aspect assessment regulation. Due to the technical characteristics of the new rolling stock, it is expected that the project could contribute to an overall improvement in the urban environment with modern trams and buses, which are also more energy efficient and environmentally friendly than the ones that they replace (better materials for the construction, lower pollutant emissions, air conditioning, better maintenance materials, lower noise and vibrations during operation).

The Bank will require the promoter to ensure that the contracts under the project have been or shall be tendered in accordance with these regulations, including publication of tender notices in the EU Official Journal.
