Bus manufacturer Solaris has won a tender for 45 Urbino 24 electric buses to be integrated into the transport network of the city of Liège. 

An initial order of 18 units, 5 of which are to be delivered in 2025 and the remainder in 2026, was secured by Opérateur de transport de Wallonie-TEC, which manages transport in Liège.

Powered by two electric axles, the buses are equipped with Solaris High Energy batteries with a total capacity of approximately 800 kWh. The 24-meter-long double-articulated vehicles offer 50 passenger seats and feature MetroStyle design.

“We are especially delighted to deliver Urbino 24 electric buses in the unique MetroStyle design to Liège,” said Olivier Michard, Chief Commercial Officer at Solaris. “These zero-emission buses will support sustainable and convenient public transport in the city.”
