This year’s edition of Busworld, held in Kortrijk on 18-23 October, will be an occassion to present the latest offer of Solaris’s solutions for sustainable public transport. Two years after the premiere of the Solaris Urbino 8.9 electric, the company will unveil further innovations in the field of sustainable mobility. In hall 4, stand 406, Solaris will present its 12-metre electric bus with an automatic roof-mounted system for conductive fast charging. Further vehicles shown will be a Solaris InterUrbino with Cummins ISB6.7E6 engine and a Solaris Urbino 18 with DAF MX-11 (PACCAR) unit.
Highlight of the Solaris presence at Busworld will be the presentation of the company’s latest solution in the area of electric mobility – an automatic system for conductive fast charging, mounted on the bus roof. It will be the third innovative charging possibility introduced by the company after plug-in connections and contactless inductive charging. The solution, prepared with the involvement of Solaris's own engineering teams, also ensures fast and fully automatic charging, but additionally guarantees even lower operational costs. The electric bus presented in Kortrijk will be equipped with an 80 kWh battery. Accordingly to customers’ needs 105, 120, 210 and 240 kWh batteries are also available. All this enables operators to choose the system most suited to their requirements and route demands.
