The city hall of\u00a0Gdynia, in Poland, has\u00a0signed a\u00a0contract with Solaris for\u00a0the delivery of\u00a030 trolleybuses<\/strong> worth over 22 million euros in total. Thanks to\u00a0Solaris\u2019 winning bid, the\u00a0fleet of\u00a0PKT will welcome in\u00a0its ranks a\u00a0batch of\u00a0articulated Trollino 18, although the\u00a0order also consists of\u00a0Trollino 12 which are\u00a0well-established in\u00a0Gdynia.\u00a0The city was\u00a0the buyer of\u00a0the first trolleybus produced by\u00a0Solaris in\u00a02000<\/strong>. The\u00a0city \u201cborn out\u00a0of the\u00a0sea and\u00a0dreams\u201d also claimed the\u00a0trolleybus number one\u00a0thousand and\u00a0one manufactured in\u00a0Bolechowo near Pozna\u0144.<\/p>\n Apart from featuring traditional trolleybus drivelines, the\u00a0Solaris vehicles commissioned by\u00a0Gdynia will be\u00a0fitted with additional batteries which enable driving off\u00a0the traction line<\/strong>. In\u00a0the case of\u00a0the 14 Solaris Trollino 12 trolleybuses, the\u00a0batteries will have a\u00a0capacity of\u00a058 kWh, whereas the\u00a016 articulated vehicles will be\u00a0equipped with 87 kWh\u00a0batteries. This means that both types will be\u00a0able to\u00a0cover a\u00a0distance of\u00a0dozens of\u00a0kilometres in\u00a0zero-emission mode without the\u00a0use of\u00a0a pantograph<\/strong>. Thanks to\u00a0this solution the\u00a0trolleybuses for\u00a0Gdynia will be\u00a0able to\u00a0run in\u00a0areas of\u00a0the city where there is\u00a0no trolleybus traction line.<\/p>\n In addition to\u00a0trolleybuses, under the\u00a0contract, the\u00a0company will also provide batteries that will allow the\u00a0modernization of\u00a021 other vehicles<\/strong>. Replacement of\u00a0nickel-cadmium batteries with lithium-ion ones, together with appropriate power electronics, is\u00a0a huge technological leap, which will allow for\u00a0a zero-emission ride circa 15-20 kilometers without connection to\u00a0traction. Modernization of\u00a0trolleybuses begins this spring, while the\u00a0supply of\u00a0the trolleybuses to\u00a0Gdynia will begin in\u00a0September this year and\u00a0shall be\u00a0completed by\u00a0spring 2019.<\/p>\n \u00abTrolleybuses in\u00a0Gdynia have become a\u00a0recognisable quality brand for\u00a0green transport<\/strong>. Once this order is\u00a0carried out, we\u00a0will be\u00a0able to\u00a0replace buses on\u00a0some lines with trolleybuses. Thanks to\u00a0the batteries, these will manage to\u00a0ride also on\u00a0routes lacking traction lines. The\u00a0new trolleybuses will feature air\u00a0conditioning, will be\u00a0accessible for\u00a0persons with physical disabilities, whereas the\u00a0large and\u00a0easily legible screens and\u00a0internal CCTV cameras will improve the\u00a0safety of\u00a0passengers\u00bb says Katarzyna Gruszecka-Spycha\u0142a, deputy Mayor of\u00a0Gdynia. \u00abMoreover, the\u00a0new articulated vehicles, which are\u00a0only now\u00a0debuting on\u00a0Gdynia\u2019s street, will carry nearly twice as\u00a0many people as\u00a0standard vehicles at\u00a0a comparable cost of\u00a0operation. Thanks to\u00a0the new\u00a0electric vehicles, over 1\/3 of\u00a0the passengers using public transport in\u00a0Gdynia will travel by\u00a0trolleybuses\u00bb The city hall of\u00a0Gdynia, in Poland, has\u00a0signed a\u00a0contract with Solaris for\u00a0the delivery of\u00a030 trolleybuses worth over 22 million euros in total.

The city of trolleybuses<\/h2>\n
\nToday Gdynia is, next to\u00a0Lublin and\u00a0Tychy, one\u00a0of the\u00a0three cities in\u00a0Poland to\u00a0have kept their trolleybus infrastructure and\u00a0are developing it. For\u00a0its achievements in\u00a0this matter Gdynia has\u00a0won numerous awards both in\u00a0Poland and\u00a0abroad. Among others, in\u00a02014 the\u00a0Przedsi\u0119biorstwo Komunikacji Trolejbusowej operator was\u00a0declared the\u00a0winner of\u00a0the prestigious Regiostars prize which is\u00a0awarded by\u00a0the European Commission for\u00a0\u201cinvestments in\u00a0sustainable urban public transport\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
