📋 Tender Overview
The two Ikarus 120e type buses which were put into service by the MAV group at the end of April 2025 with the support of the Green Bus Program of the Ministry of Energy and the HUMDA Hungarian Mobility Development Agency Zrt. Since then the e-buses have covered more than 100000 kilometers in the city relieving the air of the settlement of about 82 tons of carbon dioxide. According to the feedback the modern comfortable and environmentally friendly vehicles are very much liked by both passengers and professionals.
As a continuation of the Green Bus Program 20 environmentally friendly purely electric buses of the Ikarus 120e type arrived in the fleet of the MAV group in 2025. As part of the project the transport company presented the two electric vehicles in use in Komarom on April 23 last year. Since then the green buses have covered more than 100000 kilometers in the city. Passengers can meet the environmentally friendly vehicles on all four local bus lines and in the evenings there is also an e-bus on the 8661 Almasfuzito-Komarom-Acs local route. By replacing two out-of-date more than 20-year-old diesel-powered buses the environmentally friendly vehicles freed the air of the settlement from about 82 tons of carbon dioxide emissions in one year this amount roughly corresponds to the annual carbon dioxide sequestration of 1200 medium-sized deciduous trees. The development not only serves to protect the environment but also strengthens the sustainability of local transport.
The vehicles are comfortable and convenient they serve the needs of passengers to the maximum they are especially suitable for urban local services and they operate extremely reliably. In one year nearly 83000 kWh of energy were used which corresponds to a favorable average consumption of 84 kWh/100 km. The low-floor Ikarus 120e electric buses are suitable for transporting 30 seated and 55 standing passengers at the same time. They can travel up to 350 kilometers on a single charge. The vehicles are equipped with space for wheelchairs and strollers a boarding ramp an electronic passenger information system an on-board camera system air conditioning and USB charging points to ensure a high-quality and safe journey for passengers. The low-floor design of the vehicle type enables quick passenger changes and the spacious interior and modern chassis ensure a comfortable ride even in crowded periods. Due to the quiet drive train the noise level on board is lower communication is easier the travel experience is more relaxed and thanks to the air conditioning the temperature on board is pleasant even on the hottest days. According to bus drivers it is a pleasure to drive: the positives are the even torque and the predictability of regenerative braking. The modern cabin the transparent controls and the good view reduce the daily load and the work remains comfortable even during longer shifts. Work is quieter and less tiring. The schedule can be kept stable even during the morning peak for school and work trips the quick change of passengers and steady acceleration help ensure punctual transportation.
The e-buses are fueled by high-performance charging equipment installed by Mobiliti VOLANBUSZ Kft. (two INNC DC Fast Charge type 80 kW charging equipment with CCS-Type 2 connectors) at the bus station of the MAV group in Komarom. The development was realized with approximately HUF 321.6 million net of which HUF 313.3 million was the total value of the support.
As part of the Green Bus Program in 2025 in addition to the e-buses in Komarom 1 in Keszthely 1 in Hajduszoboszlon 3 in Balatonfured 6 in Tatan and 7 in Komlon the MAV groups green fleet was expanded which serves not only to protect the environment but also to increase the attractiveness of public transport. The example of Komarom and other settlements affected by the development clearly shows that modern technology and responsible transport development can go hand in hand to create a sustainable future for Hungarian cities.
