Partnerships are how we achieve a clean bus fleet! 🌳 The 40th UITP Trolleybus Committee meeting took place in Poznań, Poland, where bus manufacturer Solaris Bus & Coach and local operator Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne w Poznaniu Sp. z o.o. (MPK) are working together to roll out zero emission buses across the Polish city. Right now, MPK's fleet numbers 330 buses, of which 25 are powered by hydrogen and 58 by electric battery. And there are more to come! 🚌 📣 "Already today, over 80% of the vehicles we produce are zero-emission vehicles. We are proud of the fact that as a member of UITP and a participant in the Clean Bus Europe Platform project, we can popularise zero-emission vehicle technology.“ 📣 Mateusz Figaszewski, Solaris.

🌍 SOLUTIONSplus comes to a conclusion in Brussels! The project set out to revolutionise sustainable transport through electric mobility solutions. By increasing the availability of electric vehicles and enhancing their integration in large urban areas, the project addressed local conditions and user needs across Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Throughout the project UITP organised and delivered training programmes to build capacity among local stakeholders with little experience on e-mobility, helping them in implementing these solutions. 👉 Read more about the project's impact, its living labs, and how this links with the eBRT2030 project: https://lnkd.in/eVdH9ckP #UrbanMobility #SustainableTransport #SOLUTIONSplus
