The largest order is being fulfilled for the company Veolia in the Skåne region. The carrier has ordered 115 low-entry Solaris Urbino 15 buses and 5 low-floor Urbino 12 buses from the Polish manufacturer. All vehicles are adapted to use biogas as an energy source. In turn, Veolia from Gothenburg has purchased 58 Solaris buses, 49 of which are fifteen-meter buses and 9 are twelve-meter buses. All are also in the low-entry version, powered by natural gas.
– This is a particularly prestigious order, as it was won in a city that is home to one of the world’s most famous Swedish automotive brands – said Krzysztof Olszewski, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Solaris.
Among the ordered vehicles is also one Trollino 12 trolleybus for the town of Landskrona. These are the latest Solaris vehicles with pantographs for this city. Landskrona ordered its first trolleybuses from Poland in 2003.
– The multitude of this year’s orders from Swedish clients is the best proof of the reputation that Solaris vehicles enjoy on that market. Solaris buses debuted in Sweden in 2003. Now, our first clients are providing us with very good references, thanks to which we are winning further orders – said Krzysztof Olszewski.
