The municipal enterprise (ME) Kyivpastrans plans to purchase 16 new low-floor city trolleybuses with a length of over 11.9 m by December 1, 2026, for an estimated amount of UAH 306.344 million, according to the website of the Kyiv City State Administration.
“The renewal of the rolling stock is necessary to improve transport safety, ensure the stable operation of public transport, and reduce travel intervals on routes,” the statement said.
The required total passenger capacity is about 100 people, including 34 seats. The interior must provide space for passengers with reduced mobility, wheelchairs, strollers, and ramps.
Trolleybuses must be equipped with heating and air conditioning systems, tinted windows, LED lighting, external and internal information displays, and a system that blocks movement when the doors are open.
In addition, the vehicles must be equipped with a loudspeaker system for announcing the route and stops, as well as space for installing GPS trackers for traffic control and equipment for automated fare payment.
As reported, in October 2025, Kyivpastrans canceled the purchase of 40 low-floor trolleybuses for an expected amount of more than UAH 1.008 billion due to the inability to make changes to the technical requirements of the tender documentation, which would lead to a change in the estimated purchase price.
Earlier, Kyiv canceled the purchase of 20 buses for almost UAH 83 million by the end of 2025, announced at the end of August 2025, for the same reason.
In addition, as part of a EUR 50 million loan agreement with the European Investment Bank, Kyiv announced in the summer of 2024 the purchase of 12-meter and 18-meter trolleybuses without specifying the number of each length, but the final outcome of this tender is still unknown.

Kyivpastrans has signed a contract with Anadolu Isuzu Otomotiv Sanayii Ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Turkey) for the supply of 12-meter fully low-floor buses for EUR 18.595 million with financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
This information is contained in the notification of the award of the contract in the framework of the tender published in the Official Journal of the EU, which is cited by AllTransUA.
The tender for the supply of buses to Kyiv was announced back in March 2021, and the proposals were opened in November of the same year after several postponements, but the evaluation of the proposals was suspended due to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
The first batch of buses, according to the tender announcement, is to be delivered within 8 months of receiving the advance payment, and the entire contract is designed for 22 months.
According to AllTransUA, the second bidder was also the Turkish company Otokar.
The number of buses is not specified in the announcement, but according to media reports, it can be up to 85 buses.
As reported, earlier Ukrainian bus manufacturers noted that they either could not participate in EIB tenders due to the conditions or preferred foreign participants.
In 2020, Kyiv purchased 200 Belarusian MAZ buses on lease.
