German transportation operator, Rheinbahn Düsseldorf, has placed an order for 10 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses.
Aiming for delivery in 2025, the purchase further advances Düsseldorf’s commitment to achieve complete climate neutrality by 2035.
The set of 12-metre hydrogen buses will come equipped with 70kW Ballard hydrogen fuel cells and GSR2 compliant systems, and will be powered by Solaris’ proprietary High Power batteries.
Olivier Michard, Member of the Solaris Management Board for Sales and Marketing, said:Solaris has been continuously promoting sustainable transport by offering the widest range of zero-emission vehicles. Our partnership with Düsseldorf dates back to 2005, and it has included, among other things, purchases of electric buses. I am very pleased that our hydrogen buses will also serve the residents of Düsseldorf as part of its municipal public transport as soon as next year.
