Warsaw, with one of the largest electric bus fleets in Europe, has announced it will be expanding its fleet.
The city’s operator, MZA (Miejskie Zakłady Autobusowe), has signed an agreement with Solaris Bus for the delivery of 50 additional electric buses.
Each bus ordered will be equipped with an electric motor supported by Solaris High Energy batteries and charging will take place at the depot using a standard plug-in connection.
The models destined for Warsaw will feature a modular drive system. In this design, the drive components are mounted on the roof of the vehicle and each newly ordered bus will accommodate 103 passengers.
Solaris has more than 5,500 zero-emission vehicles – comprising battery-electric buses, hydrogen buses, and trolleybuses – delivered to 25 countries to date.
The co-operation between Solaris and MZA Warsaw has been ongoing for 28 years, with the manufacturer delivering nearly 1,350 buses in total.
Once all orders are fulfilled, the operator’s electric fleet will consist of 224 Solaris electric buses.
