Prague public transport company planning to buy 140 hybrid buses

For the first time in its history, the Prague Public Transit Company (DPP) is organising a tender for the purchase of hybrid buses into the city’s public transport fleet. The buses will combine combustion engines with electric batteries as a fuel supply. The company hopes to purchase 140 buses at a cost of CZK 2,017 billion crowns.

The winner of the tender will get a five year contract with the DPP. The vehicles in question need to have a minimum service time of 12 years and pass EU regulations for clean energy.
