About the Real Solaris Urbino Alpino

The Solaris Urbino 8.9 LE Alpino is a niche short-wheelbase variant of the Polish Urbino family, designed specifically for European operators serving Alpine winding mountain roads and tight historic city centers. Produced from 2007 to 2018 at Solaris's Bolechowo plant near Poznań, the Alpino combines an 8.9-meter length with a narrower 2.4-meter body width — versus the standard Urbino's 2.55-meter European width — making it the narrowest Urbino variant ever produced. The platform was deployed by Alpine operators in Austria, Switzerland, Italy and parts of Germany on routes where standard 12-meter buses simply cannot maneuver through tunnels and historic passageways.
