The Lublin Transport Company (MPK Lublin - Poland) and Solaris signed a contract for the purchase of 20 Trollino 12 trolleybuses. The new vehicles will join the already extensive fleet of Solaris trolleybuses and buses operating in the city’s transport network. Deliveries are scheduled for early 2027.
The newly ordered Solaris Trollino 12 vehicles will feature a traditional trolleybus driveline as well as onboard batteries enabling operation beyond the overhead line network. The batteries can be charged while connected to the trolleybus infrastructure, which increases operational flexibility. The system will include a preconditioning function, allowing the interior temperature to be optimised before departure, improving passenger comfort and energy efficiency. The trolleybuses will comply to the GSR2 regulation including a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) that detects cyclists in blind spots, and a Moving Off Information System (MOIS) that
monitors the presence of pedestrians and cyclists in front of the vehicle and alerts the driver. Each Trollino will accommodate 80 passengers, including 29 seated. The fleet will be equipped with the proprietary eSConnect software, enabling remote vehicle monitoring, diagnostics, and operational support. Solaris has already delivered more than 120 zero-emission vehicles to the capital of the Lublin region, including electric buses, hydrogen buses, and 80 trolleybuses. Lublin is, alongside Gdynia and Tychy, one of three cities in Poland that use trolleybuses in their public transport systems.
