Solaris receives a new order for hydrogen buses for Germany.

Solaris has received a new order for hydrogen buses. On this occasion, a total of 15 zero-emission Solaris buses will be delivered to strengthen the public transport fleet of the German city of Gummersbach. The hydrogen-powered Urbino 12 buses will be delivered to the German airline Oberbergische Verkehrgesellschaft (OVAG) in 2025.

The order includes 15 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses equipped with fuel cells with a total power output of 70 kW. The Solaris hydrogen buses will be fitted with Solaris High Power traction batteries, which provide back-up for the fuel cell during peak electricity demand. The vehicles' drive unit will be a 160 kW central electric motor. The ordered Urbino hydrogen buses will be heated using a heat pump.

Orders for Solaris hydrogen vehicles are coming from several European markets, including Germany; in recent months, the manufacturer has received orders for Urbino hydrogen models from Frankfurt, Essen, Cologne and Gross-Gerau.
