Project Name：HIPCA-Sub Project 1: Vilnius Trolleybus Fleet Renewal Project

Project status：Projects in Operation

Cooperating Country：Lithuania

Project Description：

The project supports green public transport in Vilnius, Lithuania. By providing a loan to JSC Vilniaus viesasis transportas (VVT), the city’s urban transport company, it will upgrade the local trolleybus fleet to contemporary standards. The  project will enable VVT to purchase up to 91 modern battery-electric trolleybuses and supports the company in transitioning to an all-electric vehicle fleet, providing more reliable, accessible and environmentally friendly public trolleybus services to its passengers.

Project Objectives：

The project will improve the reliability and service quality of public transport services for Vilnius’s passengers, as well as foster a modal shift from private to public transport. In addition, it will improve air quality by reducing trolleybus emissions and improving their energy efficiency, all by replacing an aging fleet with modern vehicles that better fit the city’s requirements. The project will facilitate the city’s goal of making public means the backbone of transportation in Vilnius, which would ensure greener, more sustainable mobility and increased connectivity within the city.
