\u00abSolaris is the first manufacturer in Europe in terms of contracts for electric buses<\/strong> signed in 2019\u00bb. Take Solaris Bus & Coach<\/strong>‘s CEO Javier Calleja words for it. The company displayed three emission-free vehicles at\u00a0the Busworld exhibition: Urbino 12 hydrogen<\/strong>, Urbino 18 electric and the battery trolleybus Trollino 24.<\/p>\n

What is more, Busworld Europe 2019 has seen the showcase of the <\/strong>new battery Solaris High Energy +<\/strong>, that allow a maximum capacity of 550 kWh on the articulated bus<\/a>. A concept announced this summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\"solaris\n

Battery electric and hydrogen buses to be complementary<\/h2>\n

\u00abEU set a goal: 50 per cent of the buses that will be registered in 2025 in Europe must be electric. And this figure will become 75 per cent in 2030 – said Javier Calleja<\/strong>, Solaris’ CEO, during the presentation at Busworld -. Today battery electric buses are suitable to around 50 per cent of the public transport routes. But there are other solutions. Hydrogen, for instance, could be complementary to battery electric technology\u00bb. \u00abMany manufacturer in Europe can deliver electric buses. But a few manufacturer can deliver high amount of electric buses. We are among them\u00bb.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Petros Spinaris: electric bus market is growing fast<\/h2>\n

\u00abToday there are around 2.200 electric buses in Europe. Just five years ago it was 200. Solaris in this moment has nearly 800 contracted electric buses ordered by 72 cities – said Petros Spinaris<\/strong>, Deputy CEO\u00a0responsible for\u00a0Sales, Marketing and\u00a0After Sales -. The most important of these contracts are the one for up to 250 electric buses for Milan<\/a> and 130 for Warsaw<\/a>. Today, 47 per cent of our production is made of alternative drive buses<\/strong> (battery electric, hybrids, CNG fuelled)\u00bb.<\/p>\n

Advance safety systems for the new Urbino 18 range<\/h2>\n

The Solaris Urbino 18 electric for Busworld features a series of advanced safety systems<\/strong>. The bus is equipped with the\u00a0CMS (Collision Mitigation System). When a\u00a0radar installed in\u00a0a bus\u00a0detects the\u00a0risk of\u00a0a potential head-on collision, the\u00a0system goes into braking mode, reducing velocity and\u00a0thus alleviating the\u00a0consequences of\u00a0a potential collision.<\/p>\n

The\u00a018-meter Solaris features also cameras (in place of side mirrors) that ensure improved visibility not\u00a0only in\u00a0bright sunlight, but\u00a0also during rain or\u00a0snowfall, as\u00a0well as\u00a0at night. This new\u00a0solution is\u00a0already available for\u00a0the whole Urbino family.<\/p>\n

Solaris Trollino 24. The trolleybus gets extra long<\/h2>\n

The 24-metre Solaris Trollino 24 is equipped with an electric powered heating pump and the fourth steering axle. The capacity could vary from about 180 to 200 people, depending on the configuration required by customers. It is not just a trolleybus but a platform for several application: indeed it can be built in battery electric bus, hybrid bus and trolleybus mode, plus the metrostyle new design.<\/p>\n

Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen: a new chapter for Solaris<\/h2>\n

The Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen is equipped with 60 kW fuel cell system and Solaris High Power batteries. The\u00a0battery is\u00a0filled with energy derived from hydrogen and\u00a0through the\u00a0regenerative braking, though it\u00a0is also possible to\u00a0recharge it\u00a0by means of\u00a0a plug-in socket.<\/p>\n

Complementing the\u00a0driveline is, as usual, the ZF AxTrax<\/strong> mounted also on the Urbino battery electric. The axle features integrated electric motors (2 x\u00a0125 kW). In\u00a0order to\u00a0reduce energy use\u00a0to a\u00a0maximum, the\u00a0vehicle will be equipped with a\u00a0climate control system with a\u00a0CO\u2082 heat pump that allows to\u00a0use waste heat from the\u00a0fuel cell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The forum \u201cSolaris talks\u201d<\/h2>\n

The Polish manufacturer (part of CAF group) is also organizing the forum \u201cSolaris Talks<\/strong>\u201c<\/a>,\u00a0which will take place every day\u00a0of the\u00a0fairs at\u00a0the Solaris stand in\u00a0Hall 5. As\u00a0part of\u00a0\u201cSolaris Talks\u201d the\u00a0manufacturer will share its\u00a0experience and\u00a0information about its\u00a0products, but\u00a0also invite to\u00a0talk about modern technologies used in\u00a0the area of\u00a0e-mobility and\u00a0the changing image of\u00a0public transport. The\u00a0topics of\u00a0short presentations opening the\u00a0discussion will concern, among others types and\u00a0selection of\u00a0batteries, charging systems for\u00a0buses and\u00a0trolleybuses, hydrogen vehicles or\u00a0remote diagnosis for\u00a0electric buses.<\/p>\n\"\"\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
