What the buyer is looking for

The objective of the tender is to conclude a contract for the provision of transport services with Verkehrsverbund Tirol GesmbH. This contract is to be concluded in order to have the necessary transport services provided by one (1) transport undertaking with a duration of 10 years (expected start of operations: 10.12.2028). The procurement project includes VDL with at least three e-buses with the highest possible circulating mileage to meet the obligations of the SFBG. For the use of these electric buses, the future contractor is obliged to build the necessary charging infrastructure to match the purchased buses and to operate it in its own name and for its own account for the entire duration of the contract. Furthermore, there is no obligation to use vehicles with alternative forms of propulsion for the provision of the VDL.
