Bolechowo-Osiedle, Poland- Solaris Bus & Coach sp. z o.o., a producer of city and intercity buse, has secured an order from Vy Buss, the bus operator in Norway, for its Urbino 9 LE electric buses. These zero-emission vehicles will soon be deployed on routes in Slemmestad, a suburban area of Oslo. This order marks the debut of Solaris’ 9-meter battery-electric bus in the Nordic markets, reinforcing the company’s position as a key player in sustainable public transport.
Mr. Sverre Skaar, CEO Solaris Norge AS, said, “Norway has had success for many years with the diesel version of Solaris Urbino 8,9 LE, a perfect bus for countryside travel and smaller towns. Now, we aim for the new 9 LE electric to be just as successful, and are proud to introduce this bus to the Norwegian market together with Vy.”
The Solaris Urbino 9 LE electric is a fully zero-emission midi-class vehicle that ensures quiet and environmentally friendly operation. As the shortest model in Solaris’ portfolio, it complies with both Class I and Class II homologation requirements, making it suitable for both urban and suburban routes. Despite its compact size, the bus offers a significant number of seating places, ensuring a comfortable ride even on longer distances. Thanks to its small dimensions, it is also well-suited for navigating narrow urban spaces, making it a perfect link between city and suburban transport networks.
The buses for Vy Buss will be equipped with the so-called Scandinavian package, which includes additional thermal insulation and features such as a snow chain drawer and special anti-elk lights designed to deter wild animals from entering the road.
