Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen named Bus of the Year 2025!

Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen has been awarded the prestigious Bus of the Year 2025 title by the International Jury of the Bus of the Year.
This historic win marks the first time a hydrogen-powered vehicle has received this honour.
This is the second title for a Solaris vehicle. In 2017, the prestigious honor went to the Solaris Urbino 12 electric – a battery-powered bus.

First Solaris articulated hydrogen buses already in the RVK fleet from Cologne

At the beginning of September, the public transport operator Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) introduced the first articulated Solaris hydrogen buses into city traffic.
Upon completion of all deliveries, RVK will have a fleet of 84 hydrogen-powered Solaris buses, the largest in Europe.
The delivered buses are part of an order placed in September last year for 18 of these advanced technological vehicles.

Another order for Solaris hydrogen buses from France – to the city of Belfort

The producer will deliver eight articulated hydrogen buses to the city of Belfort.
The 18-meter buses will be equipped with a state-of-the-art hydrogen system, which, combined with a modular drive, guarantees optimal driving performance.
The Urbino 18 hydrogen will be delivered to the customer in the second half of 2025.

Hydrogen-powered buses to yet another city in Germany

This time the customer is REVG Kerpen, which has ordered a total of 26 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses.
The manufacturer has already delivered the first two units to Kerpen, marking the debut of Solaris buses in the city.
Deliveries of the remaining vehicles are scheduled for 2025.

Major hydrogen project in the Czech Republic

Martin Uher Bus, a private transport company, has ordered 10 Urbino 12 hydrogen buses for its fleet.
The buses will be delivered in the end of 2025 and will operate in areas around Mníšek pod Brdy in the Central Bohemian region.
The buses will be refueled with hydrogen produced from 100% green electricity, sourced from the Vrané nad Vltavou hydroelectric power plant. This method generates no carbon dioxide emissions, making the hydrogen produced green and completely climate-neutral.

4 hydrogen buses for northern France

4 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses have been ordered by public transport authority Artois Mobilités together with Transdev Group and the French purchasing headquarters CATP (Centrale d’Achat du Transport Public)
The buses will serve traffic in northern France and will be delivered to the Artois Mobilités fleet in early 2025
The order is in line with the agglomeration’s environmental transformation plans, in particular the decarbonisation of public transport.

88 electric buses to go to Sweden

Nobina, a leading public transport operator in Sweden, has decided to purchase a total of 88 Solaris electric buses.
The orders include the delivery of two models: the articulated Urbino 18 electric, as well as the Urbino 15 LE electric.
The e-buses will eventually serve three regions: Skåne, Värmland and Malmö.

Here are some of the main features of this vehicle:

E-mobility in practice

SOLARIS x
Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft AG (DVG)

Duisburg is a city that has been committed to environmentally-friendly public transport solutions for a long time now. This commitment is driven by the desire to innovate urban transport locally, but is also an important contribution to comply with the provisions of the Clean Vehicles Directive. The city has therefore decided to replace its entire fleet of combustion-engine buses with zero-emission vehicles by 2030.

“By ordering the first 25 hydrogen buses, we are taking another important step towards making public transport in Duisburg completely emission-free and sustainable”

The carrier DVG has ordered a total of 25 hydrogen buses made by Solaris. 11 of them are 12-metre vehicles, the remaining ones are 18-metre articulated buses.
