Chariot Motors, in consortium with DAT Holding and Higer Bus Company Limited, has won a public procurement contract for the delivery of 50 electric city buses and 8 fast-charging stations for the needs of the international exhibition EXPO 2027 in Belgrade, Serbia.
The total value of the project amounts to approximately 33.2 million Euro and represents one of the most significant investments in sustainable public transportation in the region in recent years.
Under the project, the following vehicles and infrastructure will be delivered:
- 41 units of 12-meter electric solo buses equipped with ultracapacitor technology. The buses feature 3 doors, 29 passenger seats, and 1 designated space for a passenger with reduced mobility using a wheelchair.
- 9 units of 25-meter bi-articulated electric buses equipped with ultracapacitor technology. The buses feature 5 double-leaf doors, 55 passenger seats, and 3 designated spaces for passengers with reduced mobility using wheelchairs.
- 8 charging stations with a power output of 400 kW each.
The new vehicles will support the transportation infrastructure during EXPO 2027 and, following the completion of the exhibition, will be integrated into the public transport system of GSP Beograd.
The buses will be equipped with advanced ultracapacitor energy storage technology, enabling rapid pantograph charging at terminal charging stations. Additional charging capability through CCS-2 infrastructure at depot facilities will also be provided.
The planned deployment of the charging infrastructure includes several key transport locations across Belgrade, including:
- EXPO Complex
- Block 20
- Vukov Spomenik
- Block 45
Winning this project further strengthens the company’s position as a leading provider of innovative electric mobility solutions in Europe, and particularly in Serbia, highlighting its commitment to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly public transportation.
The project forms part of Serbia’s broader strategy for the modernization of transport infrastructure and the transition toward cleaner urban mobility ahead of EXPO 2027.
