The arrival of the buses was set for April 2019. A moment that is coming closer. The &#8220;made in China&#8221; vehicles\u00a0will take over the entire bus service in Roskilde, operated by Umove. The public transport company won, at the beginning of 2018, the tender held by Movia and was awarded with a 10 years contract. Reportedly, diesel buses will remain in the fleet, for a while, as back up vehicles.
