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  8799261 EUR in RRF funding under contracts concluded and 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, a total of 17 contracts were concluded for project implementation, ensuring that at least one bus will be purchased under each contract by the end of 2025.

More information can be found on the webpage of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Regional Development (in Latvian).
