Purchase of zero-emission vehicles for the performance of municipal functions and related services

The general objective of this investment measure is to improve the performance of the municipal functions and related services with a focus on the mobility of learners in the optimised school network. A secondary objective is to contribute to the greening of public transport in Latvia by investing in zero-emission vehicles.

The measure provides for the entry into force of a government regulation setting out the conditions for municipalities to obtain the support for procuring zero-emission vehicles. This includes making available  8 799 261 EUR in RRF funding under contracts concluded and delivery of at least 15 zero-emission vehicles (electric buses) for the transport of learners in the regions.

Following the evaluation of all project applications in 2023, contracts were awarded for the purchase of at least 15 electric buses for the performance of autonomous municipal functions and related services.
