18:00
Solaris Bus&Coach, in consortium with PKO Leasing SA, is to deliver 77 articulated buses to the Kraków public transportation authority (MPK Kraków). The buses will be equipped with engines that meet the highest European emissions standard, Euro 6. The deal is worth PLN 120.8 million net.
According to MPK spokesman Marek Gancarczyk, two companies had bid on the tender. The losing bidder EvoBus (together with Pekao Leasing) challenged the decision at the National Board of Appeal, but its challenge was rejected.
The new low-floor buses will be equipped with air conditioning, ticket vending machines, and modern passenger information systems.
The acquisition of articulated buses is the second large order made by MPK Kraków this year. Earlier in the year it completed a large investment program for the purchase of 107 ecological buses. The investment of PLN 167.4 million received EU co-financing.
