In 2020 Solaris increased to 1,560 units<\/strong> from 1,487 in 2019, with a 4.6% increase that, in a difficult year as 2020 has been, it is quite a surprising results (city bus market decreased in Europe of around 10 per cent). Today the Polish company outlined the 2020 results during an online-held press conference.<\/p>\n\"solaris\n

Solaris results 2020, a record year in Italy<\/h2>\n

The 1,560 vehicles sold in 2020 represent\u00a0the highest number ever achieved in\u00a0Solaris\u2019 25-year history<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

CEO Javier Calleja<\/strong> introduced that \u00abPoland is our main market, with over 350 buses sold in 2020. We have a share of 53% in our domestic market. We then sold 320 buses in Germany. And we had a record year in Italy<\/strong>, where we sold 240 buses and 69% of the e-buses sold in 2020 are Solaris\u00bb. A performance mainly due to the orders from ATM Milan<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"solaris\n

Being more specific, Solaris became the\u00a0market leader for\u00a0low-floor city buses in\u00a0Poland for\u00a0the 18th year in\u00a0a row, by\u00a0achieving a\u00a053% share in\u00a0this segment. This translates into a\u00a0year-on-year increase in\u00a0the company\u2019s market share in\u00a0Poland of\u00a011% (41% in\u00a02019). The\u00a0Solaris buses sold in\u00a0Poland in\u00a02020 included primarily electric buses (194 out\u00a0of 365 units sold in\u00a0total). The\u00a0whole fleet of\u00a0Urbino electric buses in\u00a0Poland amounts to\u00a0over 320 vehicles, supplied to\u00a027 towns and\u00a0cities, i.e. they make up\u00a0as much as\u00a090% <\/b>of all\u00a0e-buses in\u00a0the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

Alternative drives gain ground in Solaris 2020 results<\/h2>\n

Last year Solaris recorded a\u00a0particularly impressive growth in\u00a0sales of\u00a0buses with low- and\u00a0zero-emission drives<\/strong>. In\u00a02018, hybrid buses, e-buses and\u00a0trolleybuses constituted in\u00a0total 29% of\u00a0all vehicles sold by\u00a0the manufacturer. In\u00a02019, this figure stood at\u00a040%. This trend was\u00a0continued in\u00a02020 leading to\u00a0the number of\u00a0sold vehicles with alternative drives growing to\u00a0up to\u00a044%. Dynamic growth in\u00a0the share of\u00a0electric buses in\u00a0the production and\u00a0sales mix\u00a0of Solaris is\u00a0consistent with the\u00a0long-term development strategy of\u00a0the firm, as\u00a0well as\u00a0of the\u00a0whole CAF\u00a0Group, which has\u00a0been the\u00a0owner of\u00a0Solaris since 2018.<\/p>\n\"solaris\n

Concerning the financial situation, Solaris 2020 results show that revenues increase of 13.6%, to 725 million euros, with an EBITDA of 67 million euros (increasing from 43 in 2019). We are at the top of profitability in Europe.<\/p>\n

Significants figures in the order book<\/h2>\n

As we already reported, Solaris resulted to be one of the market leaders in Western Europe e-bus market in 2020<\/a>. Sales of Solaris electric buses increased from 162 in 2019 to 457 in 2020<\/strong>, with a +187% increase, it was made public. Today, Solaris battery-electric buses are running in 91 cities in 18 countries.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the\u00a0manufacturer won\u00a0significant tenders for\u00a0the delivery of\u00a0electric buses in\u00a02021 or\u00a0later. The\u00a0order book for\u00a02021 contains, among other things, 50 articulated Urbino electric buses for\u00a0operator MPK\u00a0in Cracow, 37 e-buses for\u00a0operator MPK\u00a0Pozna\u0144, and\u00a016 zero-emission buses for\u00a0the Romanian city of\u00a0Craiova.<\/p>\n

Solaris also made it\u00a0onto the\u00a0shortlist of\u00a0suppliers to\u00a0deliver up\u00a0to 530 electric buses for\u00a0German operator Hamburger Hochbahn<\/a>. The\u00a0carrier from Hamburg only placed its\u00a0first order for\u00a010 electric buses in\u00a02020. In\u00a02021 Solaris ebuses will be\u00a0also delivered to\u00a0operators from France, Latvia, Netherlands, Spain, Italy and\u00a0Switzerland.<\/p>\n\"solaris\n

According to\u00a0market forecasts, Solaris says: \u00abthe\u00a0hydrogen-fuelled city bus\u00a0segment will grow dynamically in\u00a0Europe over the\u00a0next 10 years. Having won\u00a0several significant tenders for\u00a0the delivery of\u00a0hydrogen vehicles in\u00a02020, the\u00a0company has\u00a0proved that it\u00a0is ready for\u00a0the market\u2019s fast-changing needs. The\u00a0bus maker secured orders for\u00a0the supply of\u00a0hydrogen buses from operators in\u00a0the Germany, Netherlands, Italy and\u00a0Sweden\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\u00abThe year 2020 was\u00a0a time of\u00a0unprecedented challenges for\u00a0many companies, including those from the\u00a0public transport sector. Even though the\u00a0continent had\u00a0to deal with the\u00a0pandemic from the\u00a0beginning of\u00a0the year, Solaris made every endeavour to\u00a0maintain the\u00a0continuity of\u00a0its business activities. Owing to\u00a0the fantastic and\u00a0responsible attitude of\u00a0our employees as\u00a0well as\u00a0excellent collaboration with our\u00a0clients and\u00a0business partners, we\u00a0finished this year with record sales numbers. We\u00a0have proved to\u00a0our clients that they can\u00a0rely on\u00a0our company even in\u00a0the toughest of\u00a0times. I\u00a0rest assured that we\u00a0will overcome this difficult time for\u00a0the whole industry and\u00a0we will emerge from this experience stronger\u00bb, said Javier Calleja<\/strong>, CEO\u00a0of Solaris, summing up\u00a0the year 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
