Solaris Bus & Coach has received a record order for 52 of its Urbino hydrogen buses from carrier Rebus Regionalbus based in Güstrow, Germany.

The undisclosed contract will be completed by the end of 2024.

Rebus Regionalbus will receive 47 12-metre vehicles, featuring 70kW fuel cell units, and five articulated models with 100kW fuel cell units, which are the latest model in Solaris’ portfolio.

Along with the new buses, two hydrogen refuelling stations will be built in Güstrow and Bad Doberan, with the goal of operating local public transportation based on hydrogen technology.
