Solaris Drives Innovation in Bus Manufacturing

Solaris Bus & Coach, one of Europe’s leading public transport vehicle manufacturers, enhanced its engineering productivity and design accuracy using Siemens NX and Teamcenter. Faced with rapid growth, high product complexity, and customer-specific configurations, Solaris needed advanced tools to streamline product development. By adopting Siemens’ integrated CAD and PLM solutions, Solaris enabled concurrent engineering, improved modular design efficiency, and optimized its logistics through SAP integration. The result is faster design cycles, efficient collaboration across teams, and on-time delivery of highly customized buses to global markets.

  • Digital Engineering at Scale:
    NX enables advanced 3D modeling, simulation, and modular design, allowing Solaris to accelerate development of complex, customer-specific bus designs.

  • Concurrent Design Workflow:
    Multiple designers work simultaneously on different functional modules of a vehicle using NX’s modular design tools, improving speed and collaboration.

  • Integrated PLM with Teamcenter:
    Teamcenter manages thousands of components per vehicle, providing a single environment for design, review, and workflow—seamlessly integrated with SAP for production.

  • Configurable, Contract-Based Production:
    Using NX and Teamcenter, Solaris configures vehicles to meet specific customer requirements—ensuring engineering feasibility before moving to production.

  • Process Automation:
    From Engineering BOM to Production BOM, workflow automation between NX, Teamcenter, and SAP ensures smooth handoff and eliminates manual errors.

  • Global Delivery Excellence:
    With over 80% of its annual production shipped internationally, Solaris maintains on-time delivery, design accuracy, and high product quality—powered by Siemens software.
