摘要

Poland-Bolechowo-based Solaris Bus & Coach SA is to supply the first electric school bus in Poland. It will carry children to classes in Godzianow, near Lodz. The purchase of the electric school bus was subsidised by NFOSiGW (the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management) and the bus will be delivered to the Municipality of Godzianow in October this year. The school bus is based on the electric Urbino 12 model with some additional equipment. It has an on-board energy storage system that consists of Solaris's own new generation batteries (Solaris High Energy+), 3-packs (two in the rear (engine compartment) and one on the roof) which offer a total energy capacity of almost 240kWh. It is powered by the ZF AVE 130 electric drive axle, which has two integrated motors of 125kW output power each. This solution, Solaris states provides a drive range of at least 200km in all road and weather conditions as well as a comfortable, smooth ride that is noise-free and without vibrations.
