On October 20, 2020, Solaris, a Polish bus maker, introduced a completely new generation of the Urbino 15 LE model, created solely with zero-emission drivelines in mind.
The bus is certified and offered with specs characteristic for class I vehicles – as a city bus, and for class II vehicles – as a bus for inter-city transport.
The new battery solution allows to offer a drive range on a single charging which will fulfil expectations of municipal and inter-city carriers in any travel conditions. The first two pre-series vehicles will be fitted with 6 battery packs with a total capacity of over 470 kWh. Two will be roof-mounted, whereas four will be placed in the back of the bus. The bus was designed to operate in harsh winter conditions like in Scandinavia.
