Electromobility and changes in public procurement. What challenges await public transport?

Public transport is not only a convenient but also a much more sustainable alternative to traditional travel. Especially now that most cities are choosing to purchase zero-emission vehicles.

The law will soon accelerate this trend, as at least 22% of the public fleet is to be electric cars by the beginning of 2026.

From January 1, 2026, central and supreme state administration bodies will be obligated to maintain at least 22% of their fleet in the form of electric vehicles – a long-awaited change, or rather a compromise.

The original plans assumed a 50% share of zero-emission cars. For local government units, activities related to adapting to the new applicable standards began as early as 2025.

The amendment to the Electromobility Act also has a significant impact on the preparation of public tenders. Contracting authorities will now have to include requirements for zero-emission vehicles in the technical specifications. This will ensure that orders comply with applicable regulations, virtually eliminating the risk of bid rejection or implementation problems.

Changes have also been introduced in the area of urban transport. Municipalities with a population of over 50,000 will be using zero-emission or biomethane-powered buses for urban transport from 2026. In turn, cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants are required to purchase only electric or hydrogen buses, which is expected to translate into a significant improvement in air quality and a reduction in CO₂ emissions.

The statutory requirements apply to all contracting entities covered by the Public Procurement Law and apply to the purchase of vehicles, as well as public transport services, waste collection, and courier services exceeding EU financial thresholds.

How to prepare your fleet for the new requirements?

All entities covered by the Public Procurement Law – both in terms of vehicle purchases and transport services, waste collection, and courier services – must take into account the new regulations.
