Hold onto your comet tails – these ultramodern vehicles are scheduled for delivery between 2024 and 2025! But that’s not all. The agreement includes the option to expand the fleet to a staggering 650 buses over the next eight years. Powered by a 240 kW asynchronous motor and Solaris High Energy batteries, these buses will offer an extensive operating range with minimal weight. As if that weren’t enough, the eSConnect system will elevate efficiency to new heights, propelling the service into the stratosphere of greatness.
Meanwhile, in the cosmic realm of Madrid, the EMT (Empresa Municipal de Transportes) has joined the celestial journey by selecting Solaris to bestow 50 advanced electric buses upon the city. This monumental decision reflects Madrid’s unwavering commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly transport options. With these emission-free and whisper-quiet buses, the future of mobility in Madrid shines brighter than any star! It’s all part of the city’s cosmic dedication to embracing clean and green solutions for urban transportation.
As the vision of futuristic cities rapidly morphs into reality, Solaris emerges as the trailblazer of this cosmic revolution. With these electric buses, both Berlin and Madrid are set to ascend as luminous examples of innovative and environmentally responsible urban transport. Prepare to bid adieu to noisy, pollution-spewing buses and welcome a new era of celestial, silent, and ultra-modern public transportation. The future has arrived, and it’s charged with electricity!
