Procurement of electric apron buses for Copenhagen Airport

Description du marché

Copenhagen Airport (CPH) is experiencing passenger growth and increasing demand for more departures from the airlines, and in 2025 Copenhagen Airport had a record total of 32.4 million passengers. Due to the growth, Copenhagen Airport is expanding and will be opening additional remote aprons in 2027 and 2029 with a subsequent demand for bus operations to transport passengers to and from airplanes at the remote aprons. The flights handled at remote aprons are often short-haul flights within Europe, and some long-haul flights are also handled using buses. This results in bus operations being characterized by a peak-driven demand with major peaks between 7:00 and 9:00 and in the afternoon between 17:00 and 19:00. Copenhagen Airport has an existing bus fleet for airside operations of 22 diesel buses. The buses are of various age between 6 and 20 years, and many are end-of-life (EOL), resulting in increasing risk for downtime. The buses are maintained primarily at the internal auto repair workshop. With this invitation to tender, the Contracting Entity intends to invite tenders for electric apron buses for airside operations, transporting passengers between the remote aprons and gates. The airside buses will replace the complete existing bus fleet of 22 buses in an initial order, and the tender further has options to procure up to 18 additional buses.
