Representatives of the City of Szczecin and Solaris Bus & Coach signed an agreement for the purchase of 14 zero-emission buses.
The order includes the Urbino electric model in two lengths: four 12-meter Urbino 12 and ten articulated Urbino 18.
The vehicles will be operated by Szczecin’s public transport company, Szczecińskie Przedsiębiorstwo Autobusowe “Klonowica” sp. z o.o.
With their modern features and high-level equipment, these units will enhance the comfort and safety of drivers and passengers.
Upon delivery, Szczecin will have 30 Solaris electric buses in its fleet.
Both the Solaris Urbino 12 and 18 models will be equipped with a central electric motor and Solaris High Energy batteries, which feature high energy density and capacity, ensuring a long range on a single charge.
The batteries will be charged using both pantograph and plug-in chargers.
The units will be equipped with full-vehicle air conditioning, electric heating, Wi-Fi access, monitoring systems, and an integrated driver alcohol detection system for driver and passengers safety.
The onboard monitoring will be integrated with the city’s Central Urban Transport Management System.
Additionally, to support daily operations and monitor onboard processes, the buses will connect to eSConnect, Solaris’s dedicated system for fleet management.
Szczecin continues to invest in a modern and eco-friendly bus fleet.
In recent years, the city has purchased 16 Solaris electric buses.
With the completion of today’s contract, this number will increase to 30 zero-emission units.
