Nine more new autonomous trolleybuses with a range of up to 20 kilometres are to be delivered to Mykolaiv in May 2025 as part of a project with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

This was announced by Oleh Kuksa, deputy head of the transport, communications and telecommunications department of the Mykolaiv City Council, during a meeting of the housing and communal services commission on 28 January, NikVesti reports.

The deputies are proposed to approve the grant agreement that was already signed on 27 December 2024 between the municipal enterprise «Mykolaivelectrotrans», the Mykolaiv City Council and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.

«We are approving this grant for the supply of 9 autonomous trolleybuses, which, after approval by the city council, will be delivered to Mykolaiv by the end of May. The contract has already been signed, now it just needs to be approved. The routes are being developed,» said Oleh Kuksa.

The Commission on Housing and Communal Services supported this draft decision, and the city council will consider this issue next.

It is worth reminding that in total, in 2024, Ukrainian cities received only 34 trolleybuses. And Mykolaiv received the majority of new trolleybuses — 19 units, which were co-financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Danish government.

The first three trolleybuses with an autonomous range of up to 20 kilometres arrived in Mykolaiv in April 2024.

Later, it became known that the municipal enterprise «Mykolaivelectrotrans» plans to purchase 9 more autonomous trolleybuses with grant funds from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
