The total value of the project is EUR 163 million, of which EIB proposed financing is EUR 50 million.
The city will purchase up to 34 trams that will replace the old rolling stock.

The value of the contract is EUR 38.75 million and it includes an option for additional trams. According to Plzeň’s requirements and specifications, the new trams will be three-section, bi-directional, and 100% low-floor.
