STCP awards contract for the supply of 50 articulated buses powered by natural gas or biomethane

Following the international public tender launched on July 30th for the acquisition of 50 articulated vehicles (plus 10 optional) for passenger transport, STCP informs that the award to the proposal submitted by the competitor UBSI Europa was published this Friday on the Vortal Platform.

The total value of the awarded contract is €21,318,000.00 (twenty-one million, three hundred and eighteen thousand euros) and concerns 50 vehicles powered by natural gas or biomethane. If STCP decides to proceed with the option to acquire 10 more, the final contract value will be €25,581,600.00 (twenty-five million, five hundred and eighty-one thousand and six hundred euros).

The delivery of the 50 new vehicles (18-meter articulated type) will take place in phases between the end of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027.

These new buses will replace the current 49 articulated buses (20 diesel and 29 Compressed Natural Gas), continuing the investment plan defined by the shareholders. This fleet renewal will ensure a more efficient public service from an environmental and economic point of view.

UBSI Europa is recognized for working with some of the leading brands in the sector and acts as an authorized service center for Solaris, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, MAN, and Scania. It is also responsible for being the importer of BMC, one of the leading Turkish bus manufacturers, which will produce these new vehicles for STCP.
