What is electricity consumption? Could be ~70 kwh/100km?

[@user-wp1ep6cg5g]

SUPER

[@dmitriinikolaev917]

Какой у них ход мягкий и тихий, прям сразу разница чувствуется даже на видео, по сравнению с дизельными автобусами.

[@Aviationvlad]

так и есть, как и у троллейбусов

[@pellertransportguy]

Хорошая видео, по каким маршрутом они ходят?

[@Aviationvlad]

Список маршрутов постепенно пополняется, пока что они появляются на 9, 12, 18, 20, 26, 33, 47, 55, 56, 57, 63 (возможно, какие-то упустил).

Cool! At least Riga is also having there cute wireless trolleybuses - in Moscow they run them daily and there are very useful and fast

Does the 6 depot get any electric buses? Or just the 7 depot

[@ipadgamer9544]

Only 7th

[@dreamthedream8929]

I dont know whats different apart from what substance they use for running. Looks like the same as white and blue ones, inside too. Just different color. Anything else?

[@Aviationvlad]

The main difference that it does not use the fossil fuel to actually move around the city. There is an electric engine (and batteries).

Elektrische bussen, volledig elektrisch? Is er voldoende verwarmingsvermogen in de winter als het koud is? Hoe vaak moeten bussen in de zomer en winter worden opgeladen? Electric buses, fully electric? Is there sufficient heating capacity in winter when it is cold? How often do buses need to be charged in summer and winter? ☺️

[@Aviationvlad]

Well... you are right! :D They are not fully electric :D They use diesel for the heating during winter, as it may be very cold here. If I'm not mistaken, buses operate the entire day without charging, however, there are limits on where can these electric buses actually operate (not on all routes). When fast chargers will be installed, the electric bus route network will expand.

[@openbaarvervoer.6883]

Duidelijk, dank jij wel voor antwoorden. Clear, thank you for answers. 🇳🇱🇱🇻👍

[@openbaarvervoer.6883]

En ja, het merk Solaris is een elektrische bus, is het een goede bus, een betrouwbare bus, of doen zich regelmatig problemen voor bij dit merk?And yes, the Solaris brand is an electric bus, is it a good bus, a reliable bus, or do problems regularly occur with this brand? 🚌👀

[@Aviationvlad]

@@openbaarvervoer.6883 My pleasure :)

[@Aviationvlad]

@@openbaarvervoer.6883 Good question. I am not a driver, but I'd say they are quite good (cannot say, which brand would be called the best). Riga has been using Solaris Urbino buses for more than 20 years now, in general we are satisfied. :) But that's about Solaris buses in general (mostly diesel buses). Solaris Electric buses started their duty in Riga only in December 2023, so it's too early to tell. So far so good.

[@mratp123]

Will they not receive the same paint scheme / livery as other buses in Riga?

[@Aviationvlad]

This is not planned, at least for now. Green color is used for marketing purposes, to highlight that it does not use the fossil fuel to get around (like trolleybuses as well, but they will not be repainted into green :D ).

[@alexkaverin3109]

They will come to tallinn too

[@kayvee2978]

Tallinn is also getting these things, well, actually it has just not registered for service yet.

[@user-so4jp6qn7i]

В Москве электо камаз, охотятся на пассажира в сквере, интернет как и везде в городе, отдельные кресла и колени не жмёт, салон длинный сидений немного. Есть звонок чтоб прохожие поспешили к остановке, тепловая завеса немного шумная, в метро теплее. Есть ночные хорды

[@richardsgothardsons4116]

seems like it is just like a trolley buss. but. worse

[@longtail7770]

It is wiresless trolleybus in fact same as wireless phone
