UITP and trolley:motion: HOW TO BUILD AND OPERATE AN EFFICIENT TROLLEYBUS SYSTEM?

In response to numerous requests, the Trolleybus Committee of UITP has compiled guidelines for the design and construction of new trolleybus systems. These guidelines form a practical handbook for those authorities considering the introduction of a trolleybus system, or the extension of an existing one. This publication provides information about the issues involved in opening an intermediate electric capacity system. It also describes the methods of financing, owning, leasing and contracting for construction, management and operations. UITP members contributed to compiling the guidelines. This information was then debated and agreed upon by the UITP Trolleybus Committee.The publication will be available on the UITP stand at the UITP World Congress in Milan or in pdf on MOBI .

In other words, no new power lines were put up as part of the expansion of the local trolleybus network. Quite to the contrary, the capacity of the substations ... more

Das "TROLLEY" - Video

The TROLLEY movie is another piece of the puzzle of the promotion activities of the "TROLLEY"-project to shape a new and more positive image of trolleybuses in Europe. The movie is based on interviews with local and regional stakeholders, which were performed in the TROLLEY partner cities Salzburg (Austria), Brno (Czech Republic), Eberswalde (Germany), Parma (Italy), Gdynia (Poland) and Szeged (Hungary). The movie highlights advantages of trolleybuses and raises hopes in what could be improved in the future to raise awareness of trolleybuses as smart, clean and green solution for urban public transportation.
