STRIA South Transdanubian Regional Innovation Agency Nonprofit Ltd. (STRIA) is the Hungarian partner of the eBussed PGI05948 INTERREG EUROPE project (https://www.interregeurope.eu/ebussed/). This interregional cooperation project focuses on the transition from traditional public bus transport to e- bus fleets.
As a project in international cooperation, eBussed aims to exchange experience between the partner regions at various stages of the development of electric buses (linked urban/regional mobility planning, e-bus public procurement, operation of the electric bus fleet, maintenance, linking of business models, etc.). The project also serves those European regions, including the cities of Paks and Pécs within the South-Transdanubia, which envisage the purchase, operation or expansion of the existing electric bus fleet.
