Zero-emission buses powered by electricity or hydrogen

The project, with a budget of €4.7 million allocated to the Municipality of Trento, is aimed at the purchase of at least 7 electric buses. The purchase is envisaged through the tender already published by Trentino Trasporti for the construction of the Trento-Lavis-Zambana suburban line. The Board of Directors of Trentino Trasporti on 11 July 2022 ordered the provisional award of the tender for the supply of 9 electric buses and related charging infrastructure that will enter into service on the route between Trento, Lavis and Zambana. The tender includes two lots, both financed with PNRR funds: 1. the first lot of EUR 7.5 million, which was awarded, for 6 12-metre and 3 18-metre buses with relative recharging infrastructure in the depot and at the terminus for the Trento-Zambana section;
2. the second lot of 4.7 million (Municipality of Trento), subject to a possible option with negotiation, for 7 electric 12-metre buses with recharging infrastructure at the terminus.The grouping of Evobus Italia S.p.A. and Enelx Italia S.r.L. was awarded the tender. The second lot will be subject to negotiation with the winning bidder, once the funds have been confirmed and following an agreement between the company, the Municipality of Trento (beneficiary of the intervention and resources) and the Autonomous Province of Trento.
