Electric minibus

   As car numbers continue to rise, the pressure on urban space and the deterioration of the local air quality become more and more a problem, which the cities are faced with. Another project is : “Electric Bus for Passengers “, designed as a modern transport service developed especially for delimited spaces, such as fairs and exhibitions. The project started with ROMEXPO - Romanian biggest   exhibition organizer as partner, beneficiar and co-financial agent, interested in developing an ecologic alternative for transport passengers inside fairs campus.

   RATB - the main  transport operator from Bucuresti, is another partner in the project, wishing to study the possibility of implementing electric urban transport.
