Solaris Bus & Coach has been chosen to provide four 12-meter Urbino hydrogen-powered buses to Artois Mobilités in northern France. This decision was made through a tender in collaboration with the Transdev Group and the French central procurement office for public transport, CATP. The buses, equipped with 70kW fuel cells on the roof and Solaris High Power traction batteries, are set to be integrated into the carrier's fleet in 2025. The move is in line with the operators' environmental goals, focusing on the decarbonization of public transportation. Brice Bonavia, Director of Solaris France, highlighted the advantages of hydrogen, including zero emissions during operation, long ranges, fast refueling, and fleet flexibility. In a separate deal, Solaris had previously secured a contract with Île-de-France Mobilités to deliver 22 Urbino buses in 2025.
