“Passazhiravtotrans” to Purchase 120 Extra-Large Buses

“Passazhiravtotrans” is set to acquire 120 extra-large buses at a maximum cost of 3.76 billion rubles. The auction for the purchase was announced on June 6th.

The Transport Committee anticipates the initial delivery of 20 articulated buses in September, with the remaining buses expected to arrive later this year. These new buses are intended to alleviate congestion on heavily trafficked routes and improve passenger comfort.

The technical specifications stipulate that each bus must not exceed 18.75 meters in length and 2.55 meters in width. Each bus should have a passenger capacity of at least 155 people, including 38 seats.

This acquisition follows other significant procurements by “Passazhiravtotrans.” The company previously announced an auction for leasing 293 large-class buses, supported by a federal subsidy. Furthermore, the results of tenders for supplying 60 electric buses, with the Transport Committee as the customer, were recently summarized. While MAZ initially won the tender due to a substantial price reduction, the process is currently suspended following a challenge from another participant.
