The Government of Croatia has launched a €50 million (£42m) call for funding to support the construction of charging infrastructure for electric buses.
The new ‘Investment C7.1 R1-I4’ initiative aims to build at least 150 charging points for electric buses to help accelerate the decarbonisation of the transport sector.
The deadline for the installations is 30th June 2026.
The chargers will not be publicly available and will be used exclusively for charging the vehicles of beneficiaries, with the infrastructure located on private property.
Applications for the funding will be accepted from 3rd March 2025 to 31st August 2025, with eligible applicants including small, medium and large firms, as well as companies founded by public institutions.
All projects must include a feasibility study with a cost-benefit analysis and a climate risk and vulnerability assessment.
A total of 18 organisations have already expressed interest in securing €46 million (£38m) for 242 charging points.
