Previous facelifting of the VITOVT range of trolleybuses was undertaken with our participation in 2018. At that time, the vehicles were provided with an expressive modern appearance. The vehicle range was promptly expanded to include shorter 9-meter electric buses intended for Batumi, to 12-meter e-buses for right- and left-hand traffic, and up to 18-meter trolleybuses, electric buses and autonomous trolleybuses supplied to Saint Petersburg and Minsk.
Building upon the success that the revamped vehicle range met at the ex-USSR market, the management of BKM HOLDING Company made a decision to undertake an ad-hoc facelifting for international market.
