RATBV to spend 152,000 lei on diesel bus fuel‑consumption study
Brașov’s public transport operator RATBV SA has launched a 12‑month procurement to assess the fuel consumption of its diesel‑powered buses. The contract, valued at 152,220 lei (excluding VAT), will involve real‑world measurements across seasonal and traffic conditions for all thermal‑engine bus types in the fleet. At least three representative vehicles per type will be tested, with data collection scheduled for July–October 2026 (warm season) and November 2026–March 2027 (cold season). Final analyses are to be delivered by May 2027. The study aims to establish technically and statistically based consumption norms for the operator’s 120 diesel buses, which, according to a past study, average 87.7 litres per day.
