The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has exercised an option to secure an additional six Solaris electric buses following the initial signing of a contract in December 2024.
The option, which will see vehicles delivered for use by King County Metro, consists of three 40-foot battery-electric buses and three 6o-foot articulated battery-electric buses
Featuring specifications closely aligned with those ordered by King County Metro; the vehicles will be tailored to meet the specific needs of San Francisco.
Agata Stańda, CEO of Solaris Bus & Coach, said:This order from San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency marks another milestone in our strategy to enter the U.S. market.
I would like to thank the SFMTA for choosing Solaris, and we assure them that we will deliver zero-emission battery-electric vehicles that meet all local requirements and offer cutting-edge technology in this segment.
To date, Solaris has secured contracts to deliver battery-electric buses to Seattle, as well as trolleybuses to Vancouver, Canada, with the company having delivered more than 6,000 zero-emission vehicles across nearly 30 countries.
