Solaris this year celebrates its 15th anniversary. Since production started in 1996, the company has built upon its spirit of innovation to become one of Europe’s leading bus manufacturers. The Solaris Tramino low-floor tram now also brings state-of-the-art mobility to urban rail.
The Solaris Urbino remains at the heart of the Solaris bus range. This low-floor bus is available in lengths ranging from 8.6-metre midibuses to 18-metre articulated versions. A wide choice of eco-friendly drive trains makes the Solaris Urbino the leading solution for climate protection and sustainable mobility.
At the 59th UITP World Congress and Exhibition, Solaris will exhibit an Urbino city bus. This vehicle is operated by host city Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA). It is fitted with powerful cooling systems and air-conditioning to guarantee perfect temperatures even in Dubai’s hot climate. Dubai has a fleet of 225 Solaris buses, one of the largest in the world.
Solaris will also demonstrate its range of state-of-the-art vehicles for electric mobility. The Solaris range of diesel-electric hybrid buses is among the largest in the industry and offers tailored solutions for virtually any operating requirements. Solaris hybrid buses use up to 30% less fuel than conventional diesel buses. Exhaust emissions are reduced by up to 78%. At the same time, the company invests in further development of proven trolleybus technology. Extensive experience from hybrid vehicles and trolleybuses is now also used to develop battery electric buses.
For urban rail, the Solaris Tramino family of low-floor trams gives highest comfort to passengers and excellent economics to operators. Irrespective of order size, Solaris is able to offer variants of this modular platform as well as tailor-made solutions.
