Poland - Following its launch at the Global Public Transport Summit in Stockholm (organised by UITP in June this year), the hydrogen-fuelled Solaris Urbino 12 Hydrogen immediately underwent trials by operators in Austria, Italy and Germany. Having returned to Poland it has been displayed in Poznań to signify its availability for the home market.
Solaris Bus & Coach of Bolechowo, Poland said the product has met with huge interest among potential customers, as evidenced by the demand for those wishing to test the bus: In August, the Solaris Urbino 12 Hydrogen was showcased in Graz and Klagenfurt, Austria, then Bolzano, Italy, before heading to Germany and being demonstrated for public transport operators in Frankfurt, Cologne and Wuppertal. It is now with MPK (Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne) in Poznan.
