Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen has been awarded the Bus of the Year 2025, marking the first time a hydrogen-powered vehicle has received this prize. The same Polish manufacturer has already won the title with the Bus of the Year 2017 with the Urbino 12 Electric.

Solaris wins the Bus of the Year 2025

The award was presented on September 16 at the IAA Transportation show in Hannover, where Javier Iriarte, CEO of Solaris, accepted the honour. The Bus of the Year award is granted by the International Jury of the Bus of the Year.

This achievement is particularly significant for Solaris, as it is the first time a hydrogen bus has won in the competition. “The Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen stands out with its cutting-edge hydrogen technology, which allows it to travel up to 600 kilometres on a single refuelling without any emissions – making it a sustainable and efficient solution for modern public transport. Solaris is a European leader in hydrogen technology, having delivered over 260 hydrogen buses, with nearly 600 more on order”, Solaris states.
