Buying decision

The EvCompass verdict

The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

Solaris publishes no SORT range for this model, an exception across the range — and midibus tenders rarely isolate a single sum, so no price could be isolated either. Low entry with two doors and 27 seats describes a vehicle for work a 12-metre bus cannot serve economically. Built at Bolechowo, running in Cieszyn among other places.

Strengths

  • A 350 kWh battery and capacity for up to 73 passengers make good use of the shorter city-bus format.

Weaknesses

  • Solaris publishes no SORT range for the Urbino 9 LE electric, so the 350 kWh battery has no comparable kilometre result.

Price and availability

What it costs and whether it is available in Poland

Published price evidence and the Polish availability answer, kept together for a buying decision.

The manufacturer publishes no price for this vehicle.

In heavy transport that is the rule rather than the exception — makers quote on request.

No public list price and no single clean Polish award value isolated for this model; midibus tenders in Poland usually bundle chargers into the award value.

Poland

Available in Poland

Polish-built at Bolechowo and sold in Poland - Cieszyn's municipal operator ZGK is one of the reference fleets. Aimed at small Polish towns and narrow historic centres where a 12 m bus does not fit; heavily used in NFOSiGW 'Zielony Transport Publiczny' funded purchases by small gminy.
