Global law firm Clifford Chance advised Solaris Bus & Coach on the increase of its bank financing to EUR 1 billion. The financing in the form of credit and guarantee facilities provided by a consortium of banks was launched in June 2026. The new financing structure enables the company to secure its financing and guarantee needs throughout its strategic cycle until 2030 and supports the further development of its business on the European sustainable transport market.
The financing was provided by a consortium of banks comprising Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowego, Erste Group Bank AG, HSBC Continental Europe, mBank (ESG Coordinator), Bank Pekao S.A. (Security Agent), PKO Bank Polski (Facility Agent) and Société Générale Branch in Poland.
The increased financing is a continuation of the financing structure previously implemented by the company and has been designed to support the delivery of Solaris’ long-term strategic objectives. The new structure enables the efficient financing of further growth, contract execution and the development of a product offering that responds to growing demand for zero-emission public transport.
Solaris Bus & Coach is a leading European bus and trolleybuses manufacturer and focuses its operations on the development of zero-emission and low-emission vehicles, contributing to the transition towards sustainable transport. The company’s leading market position is confirmed by its number one position in the European zero-emission bus market, including electric and hydrogen vehicles, as well as its presence in 34 countries and 900 cities across Europe and beyond. Solaris is part of the Spanish CAF Group (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles), which designs and supplies rail vehicles and comprehensive transport systems for sustainable mobility.
The Clifford Chance team advising on the transaction was led by Bartosz Zieliński (Senior Associate) under the supervision of Miłosz Gołąb (Partner). The team also included Mateusz Lele
