27.7. 2010 - Karosář Solaris Bus & Coach pokračuje v expanzi prvními zakázkami na dva nové trhy - Španělsko a Bulharsko.

Španělsko: Malokapacitní Alpino 8.6 pro Gironu

Transports Municipals del Gironès S.A. je první španělský dopravce, který zvolil značku Solaris. Katalánský dopravce objednal jedno nízkopodlažní Alpino 8.6 s dodávkou na podzim. Na iberijském poloostrově se Solaris již uplatnil v portugalské Coimbře s trolejbusem Trollino 12.

Bulharsko: Trolejbusy pro hlavní město Sofii

V nadcházejících měsících se v Sofii objeví 30 nových nízkopodlažních trolejbusů u dopravce Sofia Electrotransport EAD. Vozidla jsou dodána Škodou Electric a ris Bus & Coach a jsou vybavena dieselagregátem . Dodávka bude dokončena na konci prvního čtvrtletí 2011.

Trolejbusy jsou prvními vozidly Solaris pro Bulharsko. Solaris vyrobil (Pozn. BUSportálu: ve spolupráci s různými dodavateli elektrovýzbroje) už 400 trolejbusů pro 14 evropských zemí.

Pozn. BUSportálu: Škodovka ve své tiskové zprávě uvedla: ... Trolejbusy značky Škoda 26Tr nahradí více než dvacet let staré trolejbusy IKARUS .... Protože se jedná o dodávku Škodovky s partnerem Solaris Bus & Coach a nikoli naopak, provedla polská strana úpravu tiskové zprávy v tomto smyslu.

Solaris Expands to New Markets in Spain and Bulgaria

27 July 2010 - Bus builder Solaris Bus & Coach continues its expansion with the first orders from two new markets. For the first time, Solaris buses will be operated in Spain and Bulgaria. This takes the number of countries with Solaris vehicles to 22.

Spain: Alpino 8.6 Midibus for Girona

Girona-based Transports Municipals del Gironès S.A. has become the first bus operator in Spain to choose Solaris buses. The Catalan operator has ordered an Alpino 8.6 low-floor midibus, which is expected to be delivered this autumn.

Solange CEO Solange Olszewska comments: “This first order from Spain may only be for one vehicle, but it is an important step for Solaris on the Spanish market, which has a long tradition of local body builders working on various chassis. We are convinced that Solaris’s integral solutions will appeal to Spanish customers and we are looking forward to working with further operators.”

Solaris last year established Solaris Bus Ibérica S.A. in Madrid for its activities on the Iberian peninsula. Solaris is currently present in Portugal with a Trollino 12 running on the Coimbra trolleybus network.

Bulgaria: Trolleybuses for Capital Sofia

Over the coming months, the trolleybus fleet in the Bulgarian capital Sofia will benefit from the investment in 30 new trolleybuses. These quiet and eco-friendly trolleybuses will be supplied by Škoda Electric and Solaris Bus & Coach to Sofia Electrotransport EAD. They will be the first trolleybuses in Sofia to offer low-floor easy access throughout the vehicle, setting new standards in passenger comfort.

These vehicles will be supplied by Solaris’s Czech partner Škoda Electric, who will contribute the electric traction systems. Sofia’s 12-metre trolleybuses will be fitted with auxiliary diesel generators in order to be able to work away from overhead power supplies in case of service disruptions. Delivery will be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2011.

. These trolleybuses will be the first Solaris vehicles for Bulgaria. They demonstrate Solaris’s position as a leading supplier of e-mobility solutions. Since its launch nine years ago, more than 400 Solaris Trollino trolleybuses have been built for customers in 14 countries throughout Europe.
