Solaris and Dopravní podnik města Olomouce signed a contract to deliver 20 zero-emission buses. Olomouc will receive 10 twelve-metre Urbino 12 electric buses and 10 articulated Urbino 18 electric buses. The ordered e-buses will be based on Solaris’s modular drive architecture, which eliminates the traditional engine tower, thereby increasing passenger space and facilitating servicing. The contract also includes an option for an additional 15 twelve-metre battery-electric buses and 5 articulated vehicles. If the option is exercised, the order may comprise up to 40 Solaris electric buses in total. Deliveries are scheduled for 2028.
The vehicles will comply with GSR2 requirements and will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, including solutions for blind spot monitoring, pedestrian and cyclist detection, and driver fatigue monitoring. (....)
