ATM Milan has published a new tender to continue renewing its urban fleet along the path of battery-electric traction. The Azienda Trasporti Milanesi has launched a call – worth over €100 million – for the supply of 110 electric buses, including full-service maintenance.

The framework agreement will run from December 31, 2026, to December 30, 2037, with no renewals. The total value of the tender amounts to €103,139,559.

Two configurations are required by Milan’s municipal operator: urban vehicles (80 units) and suburban ones (30 units). The former are 12-meter buses with three doors and a fully low-floor layout; the latter are also 12 meters long, but with two doors and a low-floor configuration.

The decision to differentiate between urban and suburban models suggests a targeted operational approach: on one hand, maximum passenger capacity and fast boarding flows for city routes; on the other, greater efficiency for medium-range services.
