Vemo will supply 70 Versalle LF model electric urban buses to the city of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, which will be operated by Zagrebački Električni Tramvaj doo – ZET.

ZET, the company responsible for public transportation in the Croatian capital, recently concluded the public tender for the acquisition of 70 electric buses, with a planned investment of €50 million.

ZET is well known for its electric tram system, which covers much of the Croatian capital. On its official website, the public company states that passenger transportation in Zagreb would be unimaginable without the trams, which have safely traveled the city’s streets for over a century, covering a 120-kilometer route.

Currently, ZET also operates a fleet of more than 468 buses.

The goal of the Croatian capital, as revealed by the mayor last year, is to convert the entire ZET fleet to operate on electricity and hydrogen.

The purchase includes three types of electric vehicles:

33 conventional buses: valued at €23.6 million, each equipped with a 380 kWh battery.

29 articulated buses: valued at €23.2 million, each with a battery system of at least 510 kWh.

8 midi buses: valued at €3.2 million, each with a minimum acceptable battery capacity of 100 kWh.

In terms of range, the Versalle LF has gained notoriety in the European market, not only for its versatility, robustness, power, and elegance but also for its performance: both the conventional and articulated versions offer a range of at least 300 kilometers on a single battery charge, while the midi buses deliver a minimum of 200 kilometers—fully meeting ZET's requirements.
