TPER and VDL Bus & Coach Start Long-Term Collaboration with 7 Electric VDL Citeas for Bologna. TPER, one of Italy’s largest public transport companies, has taken its first step in the electric transformation of Bologna’s public transport system with the purchase of 7 VDL Citeas. This marks the start of a long-term partnership between TPER and VDL Bus & Coach, which could see the introduction of 20 electric city buses.
The delivery of 7 SLF-120 Electric Citeas to TPER in Bologna is VDL Bus & Coach’s second e-mobility project in Italy; in May last year, it provided two electric Citeas to shuttle between the car parks and terminals of Milan Malpensa Airport.
