Žilina is an important industrial city in the Northwest of Slovakia. It is the centre of the Žilinský kraj region and has today about 80.000 inhabitants. The first naming in a document was in 1208.
The era of electric urban transport began in 1994, when the first trolleybus line was opened. The network grew rapidly in the follwing years up to a size of eight trolleybus lines. The last new-built track was the connection route between the Jaseňová and Fatranská terminals in the South of the city.
