Solaris Bus & Coach's Slogans & Taglines

Solaris Bus & Coach is a Polish manufacturer of public transport vehicles headquartered in Bolechowo, near Poznań. Founded in 1994 by the Olszewski family as Neoplan Polska, the company was renamed Solaris in 1998 and quickly established itself as a leader in the Polish bus market. The brand's philosophy centres on innovation, reliability, and sustainable mobility. In 2000, Solaris began exporting to the Czech Republic and Germany, and by 2004 its export volume had tripled domestic sales. Today, approximately 50% of its production is exported to over 18 European countries and beyond, including Dubai. A landmark achievement came in 2006 with the launch of Europe's first serially produced hybrid bus. Its diverse portfolio spans city buses, intercity coaches, trolleybuses, and specialised vehicles. In 2007, Solaris secured its largest contract—320 buses for Athens—proving it could compete with established Western giants like MAN and Volvo. It remains a symbol of Polish engineering excellence, green innovation, and the enduring belief that public transport can drive a cleaner, more connected Europe.
