Solaris wins 101 electric bus order from VR Sverige for Stockholm operations
By Eve
Solaris has secured an order for 101 battery electric buses from VR Sverige for deployment in the Stockholm area. The order comprises 5 Urbino 9 LE electric units, 47 Urbino 12 electric buses, 22 Urbino 15 LE electric units, and 27 articulated Urbino 18 electric buses, all equipped with electric drivetrains and Solaris High Energy batteries. With this contract and ongoing deliveries, Solaris states its total electric bus deliveries in Sweden will exceed 550 units, building on nearly 300 already supplied.
Why it matters: The award reinforces Stockholm's position as a major European electric bus procurement hub and signals sustained fleet electrification momentum in Sweden. For operators and suppliers, the multi-length order demonstrates demand for flexible vehicle configurations to serve diverse urban and suburban routes.
