This year's Solaris vehicle premieres focus on zero emission vehicles. The InnoTrans (18-21. September) trade fair in Berlin is a stage to the premiere of the new Trollino 12 trolleybus and the electric Urbino 12 with the latest solutions in e-mobility. Both vehicles will be exhibited in the Sommergarten Bus Display, while Solaris invites you to its stand at the CityCube (Hall A, stand number 304).
Solaris has been offering its customers low-noise and environment-friendly trolleybuses for nearly twenty years. In this time the Polish producer has turned into one of the biggest suppliers in the EU. The InnoTrans 2018 trade fair will see the début of the Solaris Trollino 12 in a new design. The presented Solaris Trollino 12 has been ordered by the City of Gdynia. At the same time, the Polish producer will bring closer its latest offer of trolleybuses: 12-meter Trollino 12, articulated Trollino 18 and bi-articulated Trollino 24, as well as the power drives used, optional energy storage and charging systems.
Solaris presented its first trolleybus in 2001. Since then it has delivered over 1200 vehicles of this type to customers in sixteen countries. Solaris trolleybuses can be encountered in nearly 50 cities all across Europe, for instance in Bologna, Budapest, Esslingen, Gdynia, Ostrava, Pilzno, Riga, Rome, Salzburg, Sofia, Tallinn, Tychy or Vilnius.
The second vehicle shown is the Solaris Urbino 12 electric ordered by the municipal transport company from Frankfurt/Main. In barely seven years since the première of its first electric bus, Solaris has supplied to or secured orders for over 330 such vehicles from customers in fourteen countries. The manufacturer will also present the latest technological solutions for heating, cooling and steering, focused on reducing energy consumption, as well as comprehensive investment, which includes not only the supply of buses and charging systems, but also ensures the preparation of their installations including construction works.
Another novelty is the remote diagnostic system for electric buses called eSConnect. It enhances and supports diagnostic and maintenance possibilities and also facilitates the analysis of specialist data derived from a vehicle.
Both vehicles will be exhibited in the Sommergarten Bus Display, while Solaris invites you to its stand to the CityCube (Hall A, stand number 304). On 18th September at 13:45 Solaris also invites you to its press conference, which will take place in the Press Center in Hall 6.3 room B (e-mail accreditation required).
