Solaris has signed yet another contract with one of the largest public transport operators in Scandinavia – Nobina Sverige AB.
Under the agreement, the manufacturer will deliver 180 zero-emission Solaris Urbino electric buses to Malmö between 2026 and 2027.
This is one of the largest electric bus orders in Solaris’ history in Sweden.
Nobina has ordered e-buses in four different lengths: 12, 15, 18, and 24 meters.
The vehicles will serve both urban and suburban routes in Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city.
Malmö is a particularly important city for Solaris – over the past years, the manufacturer has established a strong position there, supplying, among others, 18-meter electric buses.
What’s more, Malmö is one of the few cities in Europe where 24-meter bi-articulated buses are used in regular urban traffic.
The new order includes 78 articulated Solaris Urbino 18 electric buses with a battery capacity of 600 kWh, 36 Urbino 24 with 700 kWh batteries, 65 low-entry Urbino 15 LE with 500 kWh batteries, and one Urbino 12 with a total battery capacity of 400 kWh.
This wide range of vehicle lengths and configurations will allow for optimal fleet adaptation to the diverse operational needs of the city and its surroundings.
Solaris has been collaborating with Nobina for years, supplying modern zero-emission vehicles to several Swedish cities.
In recent years, the manufacturer has delivered, among others, 55 e-buses for regional routes in Stockholm and 28 vehicles for Nobina Skåne.
At the beginning of 2025, the operator also ordered 89 units of the Urbino 15 LE electric model.
“We are proud to continue our cooperation with Nobina, a leader in zero-emission transport in Sweden. Thanks to our experience, built up over years of presence in the Scandinavian market, we are pleased to support the next stages of Malmö’s electrification, a city that is now almost fully ready for an entirely electric public transport system,” said Sverre Skaar, CEO of Solaris Sverige AB.
The manufacturer has been present on the Swedish market since 2003.
To date, the company has delivered over 850 buses to Sweden, more than 200 of which are zero-emission vehicles supplied in recent years.
