Short description
The up-and-coming city of Malatya, the centre of the eponymous province in eastern Turkey and with a population of 400,000, is pursuing an innovative project: it is working towards becoming the first city in Turkey to construct a completely new transport system based on a 51-kilometre-long trolleybus network. KuMa delivered the overhead-line material for the 1548 support points and four switches needed to construct the 19-kilometre stretch between the city’s Masti district and the university. Furthermore, KuMa was responsible for the entire concept stage and the support during implementation. Following a construction period of one-and-a-half years, the line went into operation in March 2015, with new double-articulated trolleybuses replacing the numerous buses and minibuses – relieving pressure on the streets and on the environment.
