The contract, signed with the Warsaw Public Transport Authority, is part of the city's commitment to sustainable public transportation.
The Urbino 12 electric, Solaris's flagship and widely popular battery model, will be the backbone of this new addition. Each bus will be equipped with an electric motor powered by advanced Solaris High Energy batteries. Charging methods will include conventional plug-in connectors at depots and pantographs strategically placed along the routes.

This agreement follows a previous contract from December 2023, in which the Warsaw Public Transport Authority ordered 12 articulated Urbino 18 electric buses, further emphasizing the city's dedication to expanding its eco-friendly public transportation infrastructure. The completion of this recent order is anticipated within a year from the contract's signing, contributing to Warsaw's status as a leader in embracing electric mobility solutions.
