Budapest will add 70 fully electric buses to its transport fleet starting in spring 2026.
BUDAPEST, the capital city of Hungary, will add 70 fully electric, eco-friendly buses to its transport fleet, starting in the spring of 2026, as part of a phased rollout, Budapest’s public transport company BKK announced on Friday.
The low-floor, air-conditioned buses will be supplied by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) company BYD. Consisting of 50 standard and 20 articulated buses, the new fleet will initially serve the city’s busy downtown routes.
“A new era for public transport in the capital! The contract has been signed for 70 new buses, which will enhance the city’s fleet with BYD’s latest fully electric models,” Budapest mayor Gergely Karacsony said on his Facebook page.
They will help achieve the city’s goal of creating a more liveable, cleaner and sustainable environment for its residents, the mayor noted.
BYD will also take care of the fleet’s maintenance, the employment of drivers, and the development of the necessary electric charging infrastructure.
