Solaris Vacanza 13 is a three-axle tourist bus, the second model of the Solaris Vacanza bus series built by Solaris Bus & Coach. The bus is one of the most comfortable coaches on the market.[1]
History
The model had its world premiere at the Busworld Kortrijk Trade Fair in 2003. The first presentation took place in Poland in Służewiec in Warsaw in autumn of 2003. Production began in 2004. It coincided with the introduction of the second generation of the Solaris Vacanza 12. The whole family was styled by the IFS Designatelier Studio in Berlin.[2] On the basis of Solaris Vacanza 13, the second generation of Solaris Vacanza models were created in 2006, and 2 bloodmobiles (which are called Vampirebuses) were built for the Regional Blood Centre in Warsaw.[3] In 2007 the company sold one bus for RCKiK in Katowice, and in 2008 for RCKiK in Gdańsk and Katowice. In 2009, another bloodmobile was purchased by RCKiK in Raciborz.[4] The bus uses DAF XM 300 engines which meet the Euro 4 standard. The brand symbol of the bus series is a kangaroo.[5]
