Solaris delivers its first electric buses to Canada
Just a few weeks ago, Solaris celebrated its market launch in North America with its first order from the US. Now follows the first order from Canada. Public transport operator TransLink order for 107 units of Solaris’ standard trolleybus, which will be delivered in 2026 and 2027. Both parties have also agreed on options for up to 201 additional Trollino 12 trolleybuses and up to 204 units of the Trollino 18 articulated trolleybuses.
The Polish bus manufacturer basically offers three low-floor trolleybuses in the Trollino model range – the Trollino 12, Trollino 18 and Trollino 24 – which always have batteries on board so that they can also operate in areas where there is no overhead line. The electric buses can also be charged at charging points as well as on the overhead line. Solaris claims to have delivered 2,500 units in Europe last year and to be the European market leader with a share of over 60 per cent in the trolleybus business.
“This agreement marks a significant milestone for Solaris and is a testimony to our commitment to becoming the leading supplier of zero-emission buses in North America,” said Javier Iriarte, CEO of Solaris Bus & Coach.
