Coat of arms of Târgu Jiu
Târgu Jiu is a city in the Southwest of Romania and the capital of the Gorj country. It was first named in a document in 1406 and has today about 80.000 inhabitants. Since 1992 there is a university in the city.
As one of certain Romanian cities, Târgu Jiu received a small trolleybus system in the middle of the 1990s. The first 8.9 kilometer line opened in June 1995. It connects the „9th May“ residential area in the South with the railway station, the city centre and the Artego industrial zone in the North of the city. The second trolleybus track was created as a junction from the city centre to Bârsești at Romcim factory and has a length of 3.8 kilometers. It opened in December 1999.
Until the year 2021, the fleet of vehicles consisted of 17 domestic Rocar trolleybuses, 12 Rocar 217E and 5 Rocar 212E. Following the investments to modernize public transport in the city, 35 new Solaris Trollino trolleybuses were purchased in two stages. Of these 35, 17 units have Skoda engines and 18 units have Medcom engines and batteries for a minimum range of 23 km.
Currently, trolleybuses can be found on all transport routes in the municipality, but also on routes in the metropolitan area.
