The prototype of the first Romanian electric bus, e-UpCity, was successfully tested by the local public transport company from Târgu Mureş, which plans to buy for its fleet such environmentally friendly vehicles, Wall-street.ro reported.

The bus is produced by the road transport and passenger car manufacturer ATP Trucks Automobile from Baia Mare.

The general manager of the local public transport company in Târgu Mureş, Tatar Bela, declared that the ATP Bus e-UpCity 100% electric prototype was tested for two weeks in the city and that it is suitable for public transport.
