"To date, Solaris states it has delivered a total of 163 electric buses to MZA Warsaw. Since the beginning of the cooperation 28 years ago, the manufacturer has delivered nearly 1,350 vehicles to the capital. The last order (for 50 articulated e-buses) was landed in early 2025. 130 vehicles were ordered in 2019 and delivered within 2019 and 2020, two batches of 12 units each were commissioned in December 2023 and March 2024."
"The buses ordered by the operator will feature a modular drive system architecture, that eliminates the so-called engine tower and was presented in April 2024. This allows for increased passenger space and additional room on the roof, where all the batteries are placed. The buses will be equipped with Solaris High Energy batteries - with "capacities exceeding 500 kWh for the 12-meter models and over 700 kWh for the articulated versions", the manufacturer says. Charging will be carried out via a plug-in connector."
Solaris will supply 50 Urbino 18 articulated electric buses and 29 Urbino 12 electric buses to MZA Warsaw, with an option for an additional 79 vehicles (29 twelve-meter and 50 eighteen-meter buses). Solaris has delivered 163 electric buses to MZA Warsaw to date and nearly 1,350 vehicles to the capital over 28 years. Recent deliveries include a 50-articulated order in early 2025, 130 vehicles ordered in 2019 delivered in 2019–2020, and two 12-unit batches commissioned in December 2023 and March 2024. The buses use a modular drive system that eliminates the engine tower to increase passenger and roof space. Solaris High Energy batteries will exceed 500 kWh for 12-meter models and over 700 kWh for articulated versions. Charging will be via a plug-in connector and GSR2-compliant assistance systems will include blind spot monitoring and driver drowsiness warning. Deliveries will be completed by the end of 2026.
