City of Prague orders 253 IVECO Buses
IVECO BUS, a brand of Iveco Group and a leading manufacturer of buses and coaches, has signed three framework agreements with DPP, the Prague Public Transit Company, for the supply of up to 253 buses between 2022 and 2027 for the Czech Republic’s capital.
The agreements cover the purchase of three different IVECO BUS models to meet the needs of DPP: up to 10 CROSSWAY Low Entry 14.5m, up to 100 STREETWAY 12m and up to 143 STREETWAY 18m buses.
The STREETWAY and CROSSWAY have both been designed to provide maximum economic and operational efficiency and are renowned for their comfort, with the Low Entry concept guaranteeing excellent accessibility for all passengers entering and exiting the vehicle.
All the buses will be equipped with the latest Cursor 9 engine developed by FPT Industrial, Iveco Group’s global brand that specialises in propulsion systems, ensuring that the vehicles comply with Euro VI standards and guaranteeing over 95% NOx conversion efficiency.
“Our historic bonds with the Czech Republic, where we operate our major bus manufacturing plant in Vysoké Mýto, make us particularly proud today. Thanks to these important agreements, our buses will serve in Prague – as in most European capitals – thousands of passengers every day, in safety and comfort. A further demonstration that IVECO BUS’s diverse and competitive offer can suit the most varied mobility needs of any municipality,” said Domenico Nucera, President Bus Business Unit, Iveco Group.
