Polish bus maker Solaris has received an order for 20 Urbino 9 LE and 30 Urbino 12 electric buses from municipal transport company EMT Madrid. Deliveries are expected to be completed by July 2024. The low-entry 9 LE model accommodates 24 passengers, and the Urbino 12 accommodates 28.

The city of Madrid, in accordance with its city council’s environmental strategy known as Madrid 360, says it retired its last combustion-engine vehicle in 2022.

EMT Madrid currently operates 250 Urbino 12 CNG buses and 60 Urbino 12 electric buses. The company also ordered Solaris’s eSConnect service, designed to improve diagnostic and service capabilities and facilitate route planning.
