Green Transport Tirana

The Green Transport project will create Tirana’s first electric bus rapid transport system (e-BRT) to combat high levels of air pollution and traffic congestion. The e-BRT will complement the existing network of buses, redesigned to be in tune with the new system. The e-BRT system will rely on electric-battery buses with a smart charging strategy. The Metropolitan Area of Tirana already has almost 900,000 inhabitants and is growing. The project aims to improve the quality of service provided to them and the quality of air in Tirana. CO2 emissions are expected to be reduced by around 4,300 tons per year.

The EU co-funds the investments under Flagship 4 - Renewable energy - of the Economic and Investment Plan for the Western Balkans through the WBIF.
