Frankfurt opts for Solaris hydrogen buses for the third time.
|
In-der-City-Bus GmbH (ICB), the public transport operator in Frankfurt am Main, has placed an order for nine Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen buses. 23 hydrogen-powered Solaris buses are already in operation in the city, supplied in 2022 and 2024. Deliveries of the articulated buses from the latest order are scheduled for July 2025. The vehicles will be powered by a 100 kW fuel cell. Additional batteries will be installed in each of the buses ordered, serving as auxiliary power. The hydrogen needed to power the buses will be stored in gaseous form in roof-mounted composite tanks, which will meet the highest safety standards. Solaris' market share in the European hydrogen segment reached 44.5% in 2023. The company has been developing its expertise in hydrogen technology for almost a decade and has, to date, delivered 200 Solaris hydrogen buses to 24 different European cities. Furthermore, Solaris has registered additional orders for 600 hydrogen-powered vehicles, to be delivered between 2024 and 2026. Source: Solaris |
