Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. is to supply 11 environmentally friendly Solaris Urbino 12 buses to Libertas Dubrovnik d.o.o. in the city of Dubrovnik in Croatia. The vehicles are scheduled for delivery in mid-2020, and will help the city manage the busy passenger traffic at the height of the tourist season.
The order is worth a total of €2.5m, and will include a four-year warranty.
The buses will be fitted with a 270 kW engine, meeting Euro 6D requirements. The driveline will be completed by an automatic transmission featuring an economy program which the manufacturer says will enable a considerable reduction of fuel consumption. The vehicles will have 24 seats and a maximum capacity of 85, and feature air-conditioning, a passenger information system with internal LED displays, and internal and external CCTV. This order will represent the first city buses of the Urbino family delivered to Croatia, with just one InterUrbino 12.8 previously delivered to the city of Karlovac in 2014.
