    Brief

    This procurement seeks to supply ten (10) new electric buses to replace diesel-powered vehicles in an existing bus network. The primary objective is to reduce air and noise pollution by transitioning to fully electric bus operation. Secondary objectives include enhancing vehicle accessibility features, including audio-visual announcements, hearing loops, and expanded wheelchair and buggy storage space. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate electric bus specifications, reliability, maintenance support, and compliance with accessibility standards. This initiative supports sustainable public transportation and improved air quality in the service area.
