Solaris Bus & Coach has won a large tender announced by the Public Transport Authority in Warsaw for delivery of 120 articulated diesel buses. This purchase will replace the oldest vehicles currently in daily operation. Deliveries will begin in the second half of 2026 and continue throughout 2027. The purchaser also has the option to increase the order by an additional 100 articulated Solaris buses.
The low-floor articulated buses will offer 133 passenger spaces, including 39 seats. They will be equipped with air conditioning, and a monitoring system. Photovoltaic panels will be installed on the roof to reduce the vehicle’s energy consumption. Another feature, already well known in Warsaw’s public transport system, is the alcolock – an anti-alcohol interlock for drivers. The device measures alcohol presence in exhaled air and prevents the engine from starting
if the result is positive. Solaris Bus & Coach focuses on the development of zero-emission vehicles – electric, hydrogen, and trolleybuses but its portfolio also includes diesel and CNG-powered buses. Since the Bolechowo factory began operations, more than 27,000 Solaris vehicles have been produced, 1,750 of them have been delivered to operators in Warsaw.
