Excellent drivability, comfortable and maximum usability – the 120 Euro 6 PACCAR MX-11 engines ordered by Solaris offer 370hp/270kW and a torque of 1,900 Nm at 900 rpm. A flat torque curve ensures a smooth drive and maximum passenger comfort. Solaris also chose the PACCAR engines because of their unparalleled reliability and extremely low maintenance costs. In addition, the maintenance schedule of only one service interval per year ensures maximum usability of the vehicles.

Solaris has been supplying buses for urban and regional transport in Israel for many years. Thanks to the new order, the number of Solaris busses equipped with a PACCAR engine that have been delivered to Israel has passed the 500 mark. Maintenance of the articulated buses will be carried out by dealers affiliated to the DAF importer Tashtit, together with the Solaris importer Afifi.
