   Polish bus manufacturer Solaris has announced its first order for trolleybuses   
   from Canada. The   
   transport operator TransLink in Vancouver has ordered 107 units of the   
   Trollino 12 from Solaris and   
   has secured an option for a further 400 units.   
   Just a few weeks ago, Solaris celebrated its market launch in North America   
   with its first order   
   from the US. Now follows the first order from Canada. Public transport   
   operator TransLink order for   
   107 units of Solaris’ standard trolleybus, which will be delivered in 2026   
   and 2027. Both parties   
   have also agreed on options for up to 201 additional Trollino 12 trolleybuses   
   and up to 204 units of   
   the Trollino 18 articulated trolleybuses.   
      
   The Polish bus manufacturer basically offers three low-floor trolleybuses in   
   the Trollino model   
   range – the Trollino 12, Trollino 18 and Trollino 24 – which always have   
   batteries on board so that   
   they can also operate in areas where there is no overhead line. The electric   
   buses can also be   
   charged at charging points as well as on the overhead line. Solaris claims to   
   have delivered 2,500   
   units in Europe last year and to be the European market leader with a share of   
   over 60 per cent in   
   the trolleybus business.
