The Urbino 18 Hydrogen bus is the latest hydrogen bus from Solaris and the first to feature Ballard’s FCmove®-HD+ 100kw fuel cell. In a new video, Ballard's Mike Byberg, business development and sales manager, explains the Urbino 18's fuel cell concept, including the FCmove®-HD+ rooftop application and its benefits.  

The video was taken while the Urbino 18 hydrogen was undergoing testing in Wuppertal, Germany as part of the WSW 's zero-emission fleet considerations

The hydrogen-powered Solaris Urbino 18 is a low-floor articulated derivative of the Urbino series of buses which premiered globally in Krakow, Poland and was first showcased to a public audience at Innotrans Berlin in Germany in September 2022.

Recently, Ballard announced the largest single order to date that the company has received from Solaris – for 52 fuel cell engines that will power Solaris Urbino hydrogen buses for deployment by public transport operator Rebus Regionalbus Rostock, based in Güstrow, Germany.
