The Urbino 12 hydrogen buses will be fitted with sets of cutting-edge 70 kW fuel cells. In articulated version fuel cells are of 100 kW output power. The vehicles will also feature a relatively small Solaris High Power traction battery fulfilling an auxiliary function. The heart of the vehicle will be a central traction electric motor.
Solaris vehicles first joined the fleet of TMB in Barcelona in 2015. Barcelona was also one of the first cities to see Urbino 18 electric buses roll out onto its streets. The carrier has regularly returned to that model by placing orders in 2018 and 2020. Now Solaris hydrogen buses will make their way to Barcelona for the very first time. In total, Solaris has delivered more than 900 buses to Spain, including 5 Urbino 12 hydrogen units to Palma de Mallorca.
