POZNAN TRAM III

Renewal of tramway rolling stock (purchase and modernisation), purchase of buses and modernisation of depots in Poznan.

The project aims to: • purchase new trams • purchase new buses, and • modernise existing depots (mainly purchase of new equipment, necessary due to purchase of new trams) The bus and tram purchases are to replace some of the existing fleet in the City of Poznan. This is part of a plan to improve the public transport within the city. It is primarily necessitated by the age of the current fleet, currently some of the rolling stock is over 25 years old. All trams and buses will be used within the City of Poznan (and environs). The depots are also located within the City of Poznan.

Due to the nature of the Project (procurement of trams, buses and depot equipment), there are no environmental issues.
