Polskie fabryki samochodów 1946-1989

This publication describes the various Polish manufacturers of passengers cars, vans, trucks and buses. The chapters contain information about their history and achievements in the period from the end of World War II to the fall of the communist system in 1989.
The descriptions of the factories are preceded by introductory chapters containing information about the beginnings of the Polish car industry and its situation in the socialist People's Poland. Manufacturers of specialized and special bodies are also mentioned.

After the political transformation of the state and the introduction of the free market, the factories in question did not cope with external competition. Various organizations, including foreign ones, took them over or they simply collapsed.
However, it is worth remembering the achievements of those factories that were grouped in ZPMot and bearing the Polmo logo. They formed a large socialist automotive concern - which was then an important branch of the Polish industry.

The book includes, among others, descriptions of vehicle factories in Lublin, Starachowice, Bielsko-Biała, Warsaw, Poznań, Jelcz, Sanok, Mielec and Nysa.

This book takes readers on a journey through the history of Polish firefighting equipment. From hand-operated pumps and early steam-powered vehicles to 21st-century technology, it's a race of technical innovation against threats. It all began in the early 20th century in Poznań, the first Polish city to motorize its fire brigade.

The author meticulously describes designs from the interwar period, the People's Republic of Poland era, and the Third Polish Republic. He showcases the first fire trucks based on the Polski Fiat 621 and later those built on Star chassis, illustrating the significant influence firefighting had on the national automotive industry. Modern specialized vehicles exemplify Polish technical ingenuity.

Readers will also discover intriguing facts, such as the meanings behind mysterious letters and numbers on fire vehicles, the optimal acceleration of vehicles during rescue operations, why firefighters defended horse-drawn carriages, and their apprehension towards new vehicles. T
His richly illustrated edition serves as a comprehensive compendium, offering a splendid summary of over a century of fire brigade vehicle history.
