The first 24-metre double-articulated trolleybuses will take to Bratislava's streets at the end of the summer, the capital's Public Transport Company (DPB) has announced on social media.

"Some bus bodies have been already completed, and electrical equipment is currently being installed [in them]," DPB wrote in the post. The deployment of the vehicles, which will undergo a series of tests before they go into full use, comes as the capital's transport system is expanded.

In addition to these "mega trolleybuses", the transport company is expecting to take delivery of 18-metre and 12-metre hybrid trolleybuses. These will be used to transform some bus lines into trolleybus lines.

DPB also recently announced that 30 new modern trams, which are being built in the Czech republic, will soon arrive in Bratislava.
