Aeromexico to Add Twelve New Aircraft to Fleet

Mexico City, July 20, 2021 – Aeromexico is working to continue adding new aircraft to its fleet and plans to add 12 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The arrival is expected to begin next October.

These aircraft are in addition to the 28 that the company announced last April, making a total of 40 new aircraft to increase its fleet, replace other aircraft and improve connectivity.

The agreement to add these 12 aircraft is being negotiated with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) and is subject to the approval of the United States Court for the Southern District of New York, in charge of Aeromexico’s Chapter 11 voluntary financial restructuring process.

Aeromexico’s current fleet is comprised of 118 aircraft: 47 Embraer 190’s, 53 Boeing 737’s, and 18 Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

First Order Placed With Solaris to Supply 530 Electric Buses to Hamburg

Hamburger Hochbahn, one of the largest public transport operators in Germany, issued a  tender this year for the supply of 530 twelve and eighteen metre-long (articulated) electric  buses. In August, three candidate manufacturers were selected, one of these being the CAF  Group subsidiary. The framework agreement establishes tranche orders for the vehicles over  the next 5 years until completing the delivery of the aforementioned total of 530 vehicles.  

Solaris received its first firm order for units under the framework agreement, specifically 5 12- metre and 5 18-metre e-buses, which will be delivered to Hamburg in October 2021.  

The two selected electric models, the Urbino 12 and the Urbino 18 belong to Solaris’ range of  emission-free and extremely low-noise vehicles. Both vehicles will be equipped with Solaris  High Energy + high-capacity batteries, integrated axle drive motors and also featuring plug-in  charging devices for availability ranges of up to several hundred kilometres on a single charge.  

The vehicles will also be equipped with temperature pre-conditioning to guarantee optimal  vehicle temperatures during battery charging, as well as a variety of solutions to promote  safety, such as a blind spot monitor system that warns the driver when pedestrians or cyclists  are in the vicinity of the vehicle. In terms of capacity, the Solaris Urbino 12 model can carry up  to 70 passengers whilst the articulated vehicles offer 107 passenger places, guaranteeing  maximum driver and passenger comfort during service.
