The City of Zagreb has initiated the procurement of its first electric buses in a move aimed at revolutionizing public transport towards sustainability. The plan, led by the City of Zagreb and its public transport utility ZET, involves the acquisition of four electric buses in the initial phase, followed by an additional 70 buses that will run on either electricity or hydrogen. This step reflects the city's commitment to green public transport accessible to all residents, as emphasized by Mayor Tomislav Tomašević. The electric buses are designed to operate in key areas like the ŠRC Jarun sports and recreation center and Sljeme, offering a capacity of 60-70 passengers each and a range of 300 kilometers on a single charge. Zagreb's ambitious goal includes transitioning the entire ZET fleet to electricity and hydrogen, with plans to locally produce hydrogen by the end of 2026 through the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project. The city has secured funding from the European Union and the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development, earmarking EUR 29.6 million for the construction of hydrogen filling stations and electricity chargers. This comprehensive strategy aligns with the broader objective of decarbonizing public transport, with the ultimate aim of fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly transport system for Zagreb's residents.
