The Ploiești City Hall will sign a contract for 20 new trams with Astra Vagoane Călători on November 11, 2026. The procurement process began in August 2025, with an estimated value of 200 million lei. Astra Vagoane Călători won the bid after a legal dispute with the Turkish company Bozankaya. The trams will be 18 meters long, accessible for people with reduced mobility, and equipped with modern features. The first tram is expected to be delivered within eight months of the contract signing, with the entire fleet completed in 21 months. Funding includes a loan from the European Investment Bank and a grant from the European Commission.
