context_page_description: Solaris Urbino 8,9 LE electric − low-entry electric city bus, that had its première in autumn 2011. It was produced by the company Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. from Bolechowo near Poznań. Its design is based on the Solaris Urbino 8,9 LE. It was the first electric bus manufactured in Poland. In Poland, it is in use in Ostrołęka, Cracow, Jaworzno, Chodzież, Września, Katowice and Stalowa Wola.
context_section_description: The body structure has been made of steel sections of increased corrosion resistance. Due to the large weight of the battery, it was necessary to reduce the vehicle weight. To make the outer panels of the bodywork, the manufacturer chose stainless steel and lightweight panels made from carbon fibre which has also been used for the rear engine chamber cover. Components with a reduced weight, such as thinner windows, lighter seats, a mahogany floor (instead of a plywood one), foamed ACM for air feed ducts and aluminium rims, have been used in the Urbino 8,9 LE electric for the final touch. In order to reduce power consumption on interior and external lighting, the manufacturer went for LED lamps. A state-of-the-art panel with three LCD touch screens instead of analogue indicators and traditional switches complete the driver's cabin. The bus contains a maximum of 27 seats (depending on the interior layout). A ramp for disabled passengers is installed in the second door, and space is reserved for wheelchair-bound passengers, and also prams or pushchairs, right opposite of that door.
