50 nuevos autobuses eléctricos para Aarhus
The agreement between Aarbus and Solaris was signed on 23 October and will see the transit operator’s zero-emission bus fleet grow by 50 articulated Urbino 18s. The contract also contains provisions for a further 36 units if necessary, meaning a total of 86 new Solaris electric buses would be operating in and around Denmark’s second-largest city.
In terms of specs, the buses in question will be fitted with Solaris High Energy batteries with a total capacity of >700kWh. Deliveries are scheduled for H1 of 2027, and if the additional units are ordered, these will arrive in 2028.
In a press release, Solaris said: “Cooperation between Danish operators and Solaris dates back to 2006. To date, the manufacturer has delivered over 350 buses to the Danish market, including 100 electric vehicles, making a significant contribution to the country’s transition toward low- and zero-emission public transport. Aarhus was the first city in Denmark to introduce electric Solaris buses into regular operation.”
Aún no se sabe si Aarbus ampliará su infraestructura de recarga; varios autobuses Urbino 18 que adquirió en 2023 se recargan por cable en las cocheras de Aarbus, mientras que algunos modelos anteriores de 2021 siguen utilizando un pantógrafo superior. El objetivo de Aarhus es conseguir un transporte público sin combustibles fósiles para 2030.
