Solaris to deliver electric buses in Gdańsk

The Solaris Urbino electric buses destined for Gdańsk are the latest models in the producer’s portfolio, featuring a modular drive system that allows the placement of drive components on the roof, eliminating the need for a traditional engine tower. This solution optimizes passenger space and increases capacity. The 12-metre models will carry up to 70 passengers, while the articulated versions will accomodate as many as 107 passengers.

Each vehicle will be fitted with two charging sockets: one located above the front right wheel arch and the other on the left side of the bus. This solution will facilitate daily maintenance and charging at the depot, Solaris states.

The buses ordered by ZTM Gdańsk will be fully low-floor and air-conditioned. They will comply with all the latest safety standards, including GSR2 requirements and cybersecurity regulations. Key systems include driver distraction and fatigue monitoring, pedestrian and cyclist warning systems, and cyclists detection in the vehicle’s blind spot. In addition, the buses will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems, such as an intelligent speed assistant and modern electric mirrors, enhancing both safety and user comfort.
