Solaris - not so new but already famous Polish bus manufacturer

Following lukas idea about presenting great polish things I just came up with this example.

Polish buses operating nearly everywhere in west anf east europe and of course beyond that as well. Who or what I am talking about?
Ladies and Gentelmen, let me introduce Solaris

it is very impressive.it shows that something can be done almost out of nothing.the only thing is to believe :)

My friend works for them and they do indeed seem a very impressive company,

Very good.

Another successful Polish company is FAKRO from Nowy Sącz, they now supply 17% of the world's roof windows (skylights). Pity about their name though...

I use this vehicles in Hanover occasionally. They have methane powered buses since some time, there are plenty of them there and they seem to do good.

Is that all poland can do ?

They are selling their buses to most European countries. This year the signed pretty big contract with Dubai Public Transport..

when you watch this video form dubai Bus has green dog symbol -solaris

I was gonna create a thread on this until I used the search function. I've never used the checker but Wrocław told everyone that it should be used.

Anyway, I must say that the quality of buses has improved. Solange did well here. All the buses are tailored and hand-crafted to precise standards. This is more like Germanic efficiency.

But without leather trousers, Hasselhoff T-shirts, sandals with socks and other similar stuff.

They wear those things efficiently too ;)

In the first quarter of Polish factories produced a total of 1,148 buses, almost 33 per cent . more than a year ago

- This result is due to growing exports at a very unfavorable situation prevailing in the domestic market, - says Alexander Kierecki of analyzing the company's market JMK . Exports hit until 1004 vehicles built in the country (an increase year on year by almost 54 percent . ) .

The largest producer in the country remains MAN (38 per cent . Market share) . Behind him are : Solaris Bus & Coach (20.6 percent . ) , Scania (19.5 percent . ) And Volvo ( 10.4 percent . ) .

Well we have crisie in Europe but it doesn't change the fact that Poland is 3rd the biggest bus manufacturer in Europe (after Germany and Sweden).

cool
