New trolleybuses in Bucharest, equipped with an alcohol testing system for drivers. They only start if the result is negative.

The Bucharest Transport Company (STB) recently introduced the new Yutong U12 trolleybuses on lines 86, 93, and 97, bringing a significant improvement to public transport in the Capital. These state-of-the-art electric vehicles are equipped with an alcohol interlock system, which requires drivers to pass an alcohol test before starting the vehicle, a measure aimed at increasing safety in public transport.

In total, 22 trolleybuses have been purchased, each offering air conditioning, USB ports, modern digital displays, and an accessible interior with a ramp for people with reduced mobility. With a minimum range of 20 km on battery, the trolleybuses can continue to operate even in the event of interruptions to the contact network. The new trolleybuses were put into circulation starting March 30, 2026, thus contributing to safer and more comfortable public transport for citizens.
