[New] Torrevieja settles on SOLARIS sustainable buses

The procurement board of the Torrevieja City Council selected Solaris for the purchase of 32 zero and low-emission buses for the city's new urban transport service. This new fleet of vehicles, which is envisaged to be delivered over the course of 2023, consists of six 100% electric units and 26 hybridpowered units.

It should also be pointed out that, over the past few weeks, Solaris completed bus supplies to a further three Spanish cities, supplying models of vehicles equipped with different technologies, ranging from hybrid and electric vehicles through to compressed natural gas vehicles.

The city of Elche in Alicante unveiled their recently purchased 17 Solaris Urbino hybrid buses whereby half of its fleet of city buses are now hybrid buses; a major milestone in the city's plans to shift towards more sustainable public transport. It is further noted that these vehicles will soon be supplemented by a further 8 new 100% electric Solaris buses, with these scheduled to arrive in Elche in the second quarter of 2023.

In excess of 500 CAF Group buses are currently operating in various Spanish cities as a result of the supply of these new units.
