Stadtwerke Weilheim had presented its “City bus 2022” concept several times, and the city council then passed the basic resolution on November 19th, 2020: from January 1st, 2022, Stadtwerke Weilheim will be in charge of operating the city bus.
The contract was signed on site in Augsburg/Gersthofen on May 11th 2021. Peter Müller, CEO of Stadtwerke Weilheim i.OB KU; Stadtwerke mascot Wilhelm and Andreas Haller, CEO of Quantron AG, Augsburg/Gersthofen.
“Our preparations for this are in full swing,” says Peter Müller, head of Stadtwerke Weilheim: “An important point of our ‘City bus 2022’ concept is that we want to operate public transport in Weilheim in a more environmentally friendly way, not just a theoretical example, but a practical example of more climate protection.
According to the concept, the current diesel buses will be replaced by battery-electric midi buses. For the procurement of the five new battery-electric midi buses, they had issued a Europe-wide invitation to tender at the end of February 2021: “After the end of the bidding and clarification of several detailed questions, the best bidder, the company Quantron AG in Augsburg/Gersthofen, was awarded the contract for the delivery of five Atak Electric buses at the end of April”, informs the head of Stadtwerke Peter Müller.
