Private transport company, Martin Uher Bus has ordered ten Urbino 12 hydrogen buses from Solaris for services in the Central Bohemian region around Prague in the Czech Republic.
The new buses will be delivered at the end of 2025 and will operate in the hilly areas around Mníšek pod Brdy in the Central Bohemian region.
Roman Zdráhal, Managing Director at Solaris Czech said:I am extremely proud that Martin Uher Bus has chosen our company as a partner in the transition to zero-emission transport using 10 modern Solaris Urbino hydrogen buses. We are honoured to be part of this significant hydrogen project in the Czech Republic.
These will be the first hydrogen buses to join the Martin Uher Bus fleet.
They will be equipped with fuel cells with a total power of 70 kW and will be refuelled with hydrogen produced from 100% green electricity. This electricity will be sourced from the Vrané nad Vltavou hydroelectric power plant.
Martin Uher, Managing Director of the Martin Uher Bus transport company said:Being an operator in this prestigious pilot project is both an honour and a great responsibility for us. The great advantage of hydrogen buses is that they are emission-free and do not require long battery recharging times, ensuring their growing use in transportation. We believe that passengers and drivers will appreciate in actual operation their state-of-the-art equipment and excellent performance in the difficult terrain around Mníšek pod Brdy and will enjoy traveling with them.
