"It is an extremely useful investment, through which we aim to facilitate student's access to learning, contributing, implicitly, to the reduction of absenteeism and school dropout. We want the continuous development of the educational infrastructure and its adaptation to current requirements, so we are constantly concerned with identifying financial sources that will help us in our endeavor", said Alin Tișe, president of the Cluj County Council.

Through the "Electric minibusses for students from Cluj county" project, the aim is to improve the transport conditions for students, especially for those from isolated areas with a low population, by providing friendly electric school minibusses with the environment and with energy consumption reduced.

The project, to be submitted by the Cluj County Council for funding through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, has a total proposed value of RON36,44 million (€7.28 million), including VAT.

It will be implemented between July 2023 and December 2024.
