In the city of Koper, a modern Feniksbus electric bus will be running on a trial basis during these days, which the concessionaire Arriva will test for the client, the Municipality of Koper, for the new concession period.
On Tuesday, April 9, and Wednesday, April 10, 2024, Arriva will include the Feniksbus FBI 90 electric midi bus in city passenger traffic in Koper.
The electric bus, which accommodates 35 passengers, will run on lines 5 and 6 of the city’s passenger traffic.
Arriva will carry out intensive tests for the concessionaire for the new concession period with the 9-meter Feniksbus FBI 90 electric bus, which has built-in batteries with a total capacity of 122 kWh and a range of up to 230 km. The findings will then be able to be adapted to other cities in which urban passenger transport is carried out.
Bo Karlsson, director of Arriva, said while testing the electric bus in city passenger traffic in Koper:
“At Arriva, we are committed to sustainable mobility, and I can proudly say that we started a joint green route with the City of Koper back in 2016. Today, the fleet includes of electric vehicles that we operate in Koper, six medium-sized buses and four electric vehicles for on-call transport.
The results of testing the additional electric bus will help to improve the efficiency and sustainability of the future Koper fleet. This testing is crucial, as it allows us to adapt the vehicles to the specific needs of the city of Koper and optimize operation in accordance with the highest standards of sustainable mobility. Together we are building better mobility in Koper.”
