Spanish bus manufacturer Irizar has secured contracts to supply a total of 80 electric buses to public transport operators across Poland, expanding its presence in a market traditionally dominated by domestic producer Solaris.
The agreements cover five separate operators and include multiple variants of the Irizar ie bus, ranging from 10-metre models to 18-metre articulated units. The company said its ie bus platform was selected across all tenders included in the latest awards.

MZK Bielsko-Biała has committed to 12 units of the same 12-metre configuration, with deliveries planned for the first half of 2026.
Smaller orders include five 10-metre buses for MPK Nowy Sącz, expected to be delivered in the first quarter of 2026.

We hope that residents can have a comfortable, quiet and environmentally friendly travel experience,” said Mikel Irizar, commercial director of Irizar e-mobility Eastern Europe.
