Transdev Nederland has placed an order for as many as 96 Solaris Urbino Electric buses. The OEM has just announced the deal, that dates back to earlier this year, as Solaris points out. Deliveries are scheduled for the last quarter of 2025.

Solaris to deliver electric buses in Utrecht

Transdev Nederland is already familiar with Solaris products. Its subsidiary, Connexxion, operates a fleet of 20 Urbino 12 hydrogen buses in South Holland, powered by fuel cell technology. Additionally, Solaris’ Trollino 18 trolleybuses in the distinctive MetroStyle design have been operating in Arnhem for several months.

The fleet will serve public transportation in the province of Utrecht, central Netherlands. Transdev Nederland is one of the largest operators in the Netherlands and a leader in zero-emission mobility. The order for 96 electric Solaris buses is a part of the company’s strategy to replace the entire fleet in Utrecht with zero-emission vehicles. Currently, the city operates 50 bus lines, serving 30 million passengers annually.

The customer opted for Solaris High Energy battery solution.
