The city of Chernivtsi plans to purchase 50 trolleybuses with a loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) and create a new trolleybus line.
Chernivtsi’s Deputy Mayor Yevhen Makhovykov announced this in a statement, the CFTS portal reports.
"Regarding the development of our project for the purchase of 50 trolleybuses with credit funds from the European Investment Bank, we have another result: the Steering Committee has approved our projects. Essentially, this is official approval by the relevant ministries and the bank. It is the end of the long process of development and coordination," he said.
