Solaris Trollino is a series of low-floor trolleybuses designed for public transport, produced since 1999 by the Polish company Solaris Bus & Coach.[1] The power regulation electronics and traction motors are delivered by other companies, such as Škoda Electric, Kiepe Electric, Medcom or Cegelec.[1]
Solaris Trollino trolleybuses are structurally based on city buses from the Solaris Urbino family , while the production of the electric drive is handled by external manufacturers. Solaris cooperates with the companies Medcom , Vossloh Kiepe and Škoda Electric , and formerly also with the companies Cegelec, Ganz and Trobus. In addition, the Czech company Škoda Electric produces vehicles with its own drive, Škoda 26Tr Solaris and Škoda 27Tr Solaris, and formerly also Škoda 28Tr Solaris, based on Solaris trolleybuses. The vehicles can be equipped with an additional drive system, thanks to which they can cover the route without electric traction. These are an additional generator , traction batteries or a hydrogen fuel cell .
More than 1,800 units of Solaris Trollino trolleybuses were produced, which were delivered to more than 40 recipients in 17 European countries. In Poland, these are Gdynia , Lublin and Tychy . The list of cities in which Trollino trolleybuses operate includes Rome , Budapest , Sofia , Ostrava , Bucharest and Salzburg
