Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
Gmina Palecznica bought the first unit in a tender decided on 28 March 2025 — exactly the openness that trucks lack. It is the first Solaris homologated simultaneously as a city and an intercity bus, sold as Class II with the city class as an option. Low entry with 61 seats is a compromise aimed at suburban commuting.
Strengths
- Homologated simultaneously as a city and an intercity bus.
Weaknesses
- The published maximum pack is 470 kWh even though the Palecznica contract required at least 500 kWh, so the delivered specification needs checking.

- Measurement basis
- Solaris quotes 'up to a few hundred kilometres on a single charge' with High Energy+ packs and does not publish a single SORT figure for this model. The Palecznica tender required at least 250 km per charge from a minimum 500 kWh pack.
These are manufacturer-published figures gathered through EvCompass research.

Research notes
The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.
Solaris's first electric bus homologated for both Class I (city) and Class II (intercity) - it is sold as a Class II vehicle with Class I as an option. Three axles: independent front, portal drive axle, steered or unsteered tag axle. 14,890 mm long, 2,550 mm wide, 3,400 mm high, wheelbase 7,000 + 1,690 mm, turning radius about 11.9 m. GVW up to 25 t. Door layouts 2-2-0 / 2-2-1 / 1-2-0 / 1-2-1. Seats: from 51 in the three-door layout, up to 61 (Class I) or 65 (Class II) in the two-door layout. Battery ceiling quoted by the manufacturer is 470 kWh, so the Palecznica tender's 'minimum 500 kWh' requirement is higher than the published maximum - the delivered configuration should be checked. No Commons image category exists for this model yet.
