UAB Klaipėdos Paslaugos, the public transport operator of Klaipėda (Lithuania), has placed an order for 25 new IVECO BUS URBANWAY 12-meter city buses combining hybrid technology with natural gas. The new buses are scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2026 and will be deployed across Klaipėda’s public transport network, further enhancing the city’s environmentally friendly fleet.
The acquisition is financed through a 10-year bank financing agreement, which includes a full-service package with warranty and additional services, ensuring long-term reliability and operational efficiency. UAB “Klaipėdos Paslaugos“ CEO stated: “This investment is a significant step towards ensuring greener public transport services in Klaipėda. Most of our buses already use alternative fuels, and these hybrid CNG buses will allow us to further reduce pollution
and achieve our environmental goals, especially when we use biomethane as fuel – a green alternative to natural gas.” Compatible with biomethane, the URBANWAY combines the benefits of compressed natural gas (CNG) with hybrid technology. According to IVECO BUS it delivers 16% fuel savings compared to the standard diesel version and a reduction in CO 2 emissions of up to 19%.
