The Urbino 18 electric stands out with its modular drive system and distributed architecture, which removes the traditional engine tower to create more passenger room.
Each bus will carry over 700 kWh of Solaris High Energy batteries mounted on the roof and will be charged via a plug-in connector, optimizing both range and maintenance efficiency.
The collaboration between Solaris and MZA dates back to 1997, making it one of the longest-running public transport partnerships in the region. Over the past decade, MZA has consistently expanded its electric bus fleet to meet the city’s clean mobility targets.
