We have started deliveries of new electric buses for Szczecinek

We are pleased to announce that deliveries of our Ikarus 120e fully electric buses have begun for the city of Szczecinek in Poland. The municipality signed a contract in August 2023 with Electrobus Europe Zrt., the distributor of Ikarus products, for the purchase of five modern, zero-emission vehicles.

The first three units have already successfully arrived at the local transport company’s depot, where technical inspections will soon begin. The remaining two buses will follow within days, enabling the entire fleet to enter service shortly. This procurement will expand Szczecinek’s existing electric bus fleet and allow the city to retire its oldest diesel vehicles, supporting a cleaner, greener urban transport system.

This five-bus order is an especially important milestone for Ikarus, marking our first such contract from the historically significant Polish market. We were proud to secure the project with the most competitive bid against major international rivals. As part of the project, Electrobus Europe is partnering with Poland’s Ekoenergetyka to supply modern plug-in charging equipment essential for operating the new buses.

The Ikarus 120e buses for Szczecinek have been customized with a local livery: a white base color highlighted by a distinctive green stripe and an elegant new black window framing. Fully low-floor and three-door (2-2-2 layout), they can carry up to 86 passengers, with 27+2 seats. The modern interior includes air conditioning, an electronic passenger information system, onboard WiFi, and popular USB charging outlets for mobile devices. The driver’s cabin has been designed to meet local standards for comfort and safety.

The Ikarus 120e’s proven, reliable electric drive system features a 314 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery pack that delivers a range of up to 350 kilometers on a single charge. Power is supplied to a centrally mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor offering 165 kW continuous and 240 kW peak output—guaranteeing quiet, smooth, and environmentally friendly operation.

We are proud to see the legendary Ikarus name return to Poland, this time with fully electric propulsion and technology tailored to meet the needs of 21st-century urban transport. Our mission remains clear: to provide sustainable, comfortable, and advanced transport solutions to our partners at home and abroad.
