Solaris showcases Urbino 10,5 electric at Milan’s Next Mobility Exhibition 2026

Solaris is presenting the new Urbino 10,5 electric midibus at Next Mobility Exhibition 2026. The model was first presented in Busworld 2025 in Brussels.

Held from 13 to 16 May in Milan, Next Mobility Milano 2026 is focused son public transport electrification, charging infrastructure, digitalisation and integrated mobility systems. olaris is using the exhibition to introduce the Urbino 10,5 electric, its latest battery-electric midibus designed for urban operations.

Solaris Urbino 10,5 electric, focus on city centers

The Solaris Urbino 10,5 electric has been developed for routes where a conventional 12-metre bus is not considered the optimal configuration. The vehicle measures 10.5 metres in length and has been conceived for operation in dense urban environments, feeder services and historic city centres requiring increased manoeuvrability.

The model is based on Solaris’ modular drive architecture, which allows drivetrain components to be integrated without the use of a conventional rear engine tower. The interior layout enables a passenger capacity of up to 85 passengers, including up to 33 seated passengers, positioning the vehicle among the highest-capacity models in the midibus segment.

According to the manufacturer, the bus features a turning radius below 17 metres. The vehicle is equipped with a 240 kW electric motor and battery packs with capacities reaching up to 400 kWh. Solaris states that the configuration enables full-day operation without intermediate charging.

The Urbino 10,5 electric supports both plug-in charging and pantograph charging systems. The vehicle also complies with the latest GSR2 safety requirements and can be specified with additional driver assistance systems.

An energy-efficient CO₂ heat pump is integrated into the thermal management system. The battery-electric drivetrain allows zero local emissions during operation and reduced noise levels in urban service conditions.
