Lahti's new library car is ecological and runs on electricity

Lahti's library cars Eepos, which are at the end of their service life, and Pegasos, which are still on the routes, are slowly being phased out, and the new car is scheduled to continue as the only library car on the Lahti library's routes in the fall of 2024. In addition to its electric drive, the new car is a low-floor bus, where you don't have to climb stairs. The car is barrier-free and open to everyone.

Lahti's previous library cars also got their names with the help of a naming contest. Pegasos is currently running Lahti's library car and will start its routes again at the beginning of August.
