How was 2023 for Solaris? What does the market for zero-emission buses look like? What are our strategic plans for the coming years? Solaris CEO Javier Iriarte discussed all of this during the press conference broadcasted live from the main factory in Bolechowo - here's a brief summary of the key points:

E-mobility in practice

SOLARIS x
Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft AG (DVG)

Duisburg is a city that has been committed to environmentally-friendly public transport solutions for a long time now. This commitment is driven by the desire to innovate urban transport locally, but is also an important contribution to comply with the provisions of the Clean Vehicles DirectiveThe city has therefore decided to replace its entire fleet of combustion-engine buses with zero-emission vehicles by 2030. 

“By ordering the first 25 hydrogen buses, we are taking another important step towards making public transport in Duisburg completely emission-free and sustainable”

The carrier DVG has ordered a total of 25 hydrogen buses made by Solaris. 11 of them are 12-metre vehicles, the remaining ones are 18-metre articulated buses.
