2. Premieres at the Hanover IAA

2.1 A Solaris hybrid bus

Following the world-wide trend of searching for alternative sources of energy, we have added
a new vehicle to our product range: the hybrid-drive Solaris Urbino. This innovative drive
solution helps to significantly reduce fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

The premiere of our hybrid bus is scheduled for September of this year at the Hanover IAA.
The presentation of this prototype tops the months-long effort of our engineering bureau. It
goes without saying that working out a new product in such a short time would not have been
possible without the support of our experienced partners, the Allison and Cummins
companies.

The prototype of the hybrid drive Urbino 18 is based on the classic skeleton construction
made of stain-resistant steel, as used for the whole range of Urbino low floor city buses.

The Cummins ISLe4 Diesel engine with 340 hp has a capacity of 8.9 liters and a maximum
torque of 1,500 Nm at 1,200 rpm.

The second drive element, and its main component, is the EP DRIVE system by Allison.

The Cummins engine and the Allison system

together form the hybrid drive, distinguishing itself
by properties of the parallel and series connection
alike.

The hybrid drive has been placed at the front part

of the bus, immediately behind the fender shield.
Thus, it was possible to obtain 50 + 1 seats, 14 of
which are accessible directly from the low floor
section. The hybrid drive Solaris Urbino 18
prototype can carry a total of 131 passengers. This
figure can be optionally altered to meet the
requirements of the customer.

The drive system has been placed in the front part

of the bus, behind the first left-hand fender shield.
The drive train is diverted to the second (center)
axle.

The hybrid drive is completed with roof-mounted

batteries and an inverter. The following chart gives
a schematic illustration of the hybrid drive in the
Solaris Urbino 18 prototype.

THE EV DRIVE
Is the central element of the hybrid drive, in which the combination of the torques of both
engines takes place (blending). It consists of two electric engines, two synchronous
couplings, and three planetary transmissions. Optically, the EV module resembles a
traditional gear box, and weighs 464 kilograms.
Description of the illustrations.

6
THE BATTERY
The energy reconditioned during the slowing-down process, converted accordingly, is
generated in special roof-mounted batteries. Thus, the batteries utilized by the hybrid drive
don’t need to be recharged through outside sources of energy.
The lifetime expectancy of the nickel-hydride batteries (NiMH), weighing 410 kilograms,
amount to about 6 years, depending on the kind of use of the bus.

THE DUAL MODULE (DPIM)

The DPIM (dual power inverter module) is an important electric component of the Allison
system. The DPIM consists of two converter modules AC/DC – DC/AC, with a total weight of
91 kilograms. The temperature of the module is kept constant by an oil radiator.

The shortest possible description of the dual mode drive is: use of the electric engines in
order to assist the standard Diesel drive, at its optimum load. By a separate control unit,
which coordinates the activity of the two drive systems, they are ideally synchronized.

THE DIESEL ENGINE

The Cummins ISLe4 engine, with a capacity of 8.9 liters and a maximum torque of 1,500 Nm
at 1,200 rpm, has been adapted for use in hybrid drive systems and complies with the Euro 4
standard. This unit is economical with regards to fuel consumption. Its main distinctions from
the standard version are, among others, its electronic programming, elimination of the starter
engine, and an adapter kit.

THE CONTROL UNIT

The system is completed by two control units, mounted onto printed circuit boards. The
1,000/2,000-type units made by Allison weigh only 2.3 kilograms. Among the tasks of the first
unit are checking and controlling the hybrid drive, while the second unit coordinates the
cooperation with the other vehicle modules.

The hybrid bus doesn’t force any radical changes

upon the driver concerning technical aspects and
vehicle control. The control switches on the
instrument panel are analog to the traditional bus
versions. A so-called DNR control unit (drive,
neutral, reverse) has been introduced to operate
the hybrid drive. The traditional brake is used only
rarely in the hybrid vehicle, as releasing the
accelerator is sufficient to slow down the bus. The
brake intensity is adjusted by the DNR control unit,
which also allows basic diagnostics of the drive
system.

7
EXPERIENCE IN USE
Allison has performed a series of tests in Seattle, Washington (USA) in March of this year,
during which the parameters of conventional drive buses were compared to those of analog
hybrid drive buses. The results clearly speak in favor of the hybrid drive.

The test results proved as follows:

- lower fuel consumption (by 20 to 43 percent)
- reduction of pollutant emissions (by 10 to 39 percent concerning nitric oxides)
- reduction of solid particles in the exhaust fumes by 51 to 97 percent.

The majority of bus operators will get convinced by the first argument, the reduction in fuel
consumption in hybrid buses.
Solaris Bus & Coach is planning its own studies of hybrid buses in comparison to traditionally
powered vehicles, analog to the tests conducted in the United States. These will be the first
comparative tests of their kind in Europe.

Further parameters of the hybrid drive Solaris Urbino 18:

1. Front suspension / steering ZF RL 75 EC
2. drive axle AV 132 80/5
3. rear axle AVN 132
4. central lubrication system KFBS1 with auto diagnosis
5. articulation joint Hemscheidt, puller-type

2.2 Solaris Urbino EEV

During the Hannover IAA, a prototype of the Solaris Urbino 18 EEV will also be presented. Its
engine has been adapted to the EEV pollution emission standard, the strictest, currently not
required, ecological specifications. This is made possible by use of a DAF PR engine, which
meets the Euro 5 standard, and has additionally been equipped with a particle filter.

The first sample of a EEV bus will be powered by a DAF PR 228 engine meeting the Euro 5
standard. The additional DPF filter (Diesel particle filter) is a control-free, open filter, also
supplied by DAF. The exhaust outlet of the EEV bus is roof-mounted.

HOW DOES THE DPF FILTER WORK?

In the process of cleaning the exhaust fumes in the Diesel engine, the solid particles are
decollated in filter channels of about 1 nanometer in diameter. By the rotation of the exhaust
fumes, the particles are separated from the filter material. Following that, the carbon
particles, together with the nitric oxide from the SCR system, are incinerated in an
afterburning process. In the end, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide emerge in an automatic
reaction.

The uncomplicated principle allows for a simple construction of the DPF filter with no moving
parts nor sensors. The main difference between the CRT filter and the DPF filter is that the
DPF filter doesn’t need to be cleaned periodically. Its efficiency ratio concerning solid
particles alone is over 50 percent. From inset of the catalytic reaction, its efficiency rises to
over 90 percent.

8
This solution contributes to an exceptionally high level in cleaning the exhaust fumes (see
chart):

The first ecological EEV bus will be delivered to Bremen (Germany).

3. New engines in the Solaris Urbino

As of August this year already, Solaris Bus & Coach will offer its customers the new
Cummins drive units in addition to the DAF and Iveco engines.

The offer will consist of the following units:

- ISBe4 with 221 hp,
- ISBe4 with 250 hp,
- ISLe4 with 320 hp,
- ISLe4 with 340 hp.

9
By application of the selective catalytic reaction (SCR technology), using the urea solution
AdBlue, all these engines meet the ecologic Euro 4 standard.

The first five buses with Cummins engines will be delivered to a Norwegian customer, the
Norgesbus company in Oslo. These vehicles will be equipped with 250 hp ISBe4 engines.

The new Cummins engines offer our customers a wider and more flexible choice of products.
As of August, 2006, Solaris Urbino buses will be offered with the following engine variants:
− DAF,
− IVECO,
− CUMMINS.

4. Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. opens new manufacturing facility

In April a newly constructed Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. manufacturing facility was officially
opened. To date over 13.500 sq. metres of space have been completed and handed over for
use. By the end of 2007 another 10.000 sq. metres of manufacturing space will have been
added. Total Solaris investment to increase manufacturing capacity is worth around PLN 40
million.

Construction of the new Solaris Bus & Coach manufacturing complex has been divided into
two main stages, with the first part of the project having stared in August 2005. During the
eight months that followed over 13.500 sq. metres of new factory space have been added.
This new part of the Solaris factory comprises:
- 4900 sq. m. paint shop and internal transport and handling facility
- 1800 sq. m. initial assembly and subassembly facility
- 2700 sq. m. vehicle final assembly facility
- 1000 sq. m. of warehousing space
- over 3000 sq. m. of office space plus rest and refreshment facilities and technical support
facilities.

In total this new factory space exceeds 13.500 sq. metres. Additionally, some 9.000 sq.
metres of yards and access roads have been built around the new buildings. This first stage
of the project, now completed, has cost PLN 23 million.

The completion of the second stage, now under way, will mark the end of the entire project to
build a new factory complex. It is scheduled for the end of 2007. This new stage will include
building a new 7.800 sq.m. welding shop, a 1000 sq.m. warehousing facility as well as 1.200
sq. m. of office space and rest and refreshment facilities.

Thus the new factory will total over 23.500 square metres. Average usable height of the
premises is 10 metres. After the second stage has been completed, the total cube will be
235.000 cu. metres.

Production from the „old” Bolechowo plant buildings used to date has now been transferred
to the newly finished part of the new factory.

The newly finished section of the new factory houses the following operations: two axle and
articulation fitment stations, three stations for bonding glass and floor coverings, four paint
booths and a grinder booth. The final assembly building houses 12 assembly stations, three
engine and electrics start-up stations and three reserve stations. In total, the new section of
the factory houses 30 manufacturing stations.

10
By transferring part of production to the new premises Solaris has increased its daily capacity
to 5 vehicles. When the second stage of the new factory has been completed, and the
welding shop and body frame construction shop have been moved to new premises, the
plant capacity will increase to 8 units daily.

During construction of the new facility particular attention has been given to all issues related
to environmental protection. The paint booths in the new facility have been quipped with a
modern air treatment and purification system. The air escaping from a paint booth comes
through a special adsorption installation with activated carbon and special catalytic converter.
Thank to this set-up the air from paint booths contains no harmful emissions. Additionally, all
paint and grinding booths as well as booths for chassis rust-proofing treatment are equipped
with ventilation and extractor units, which with large air volume exchange make it possible to
maintain stable temperature to ensure comfortable working environment. The entire factory
complex uses energy-efficient metal-halide lighting. The facility is heated by gas, using a
direct heater system.

Modern solutions have also been utilised for internal transport and component and vehicle
handling. Thanks to a special ramp moving on rails, it is possible to move buses across
between individual manufacturing stations. This has made it possible to considerably reduce
the space needed transport buses under construction inside the manufacturing facility.

– This new investment has been driven by the increasing number of orders coming from our
customers. It has also been made necessary to upgrade the manufacturing processes and to
improve overall efficiency. By grouping the entire manufacturing operations under one roof
will enable us to increase our efficiency and to improve quality which in turn will make us
more competitive both on the home market and in export markets. Today I can say that
Solaris Bus & Coach boasts one of the most modern bus manufacturing plants in Europe.
Opening of the new facility coincides with the 10th anniversary of our factory. We could say
this symbolizes the growth we have experienced over the last ten years. I do hope that the
next decade will be equally successful for our company,” said Krzysztof Olszewski Solaris
Bus & Coach Chairman and Chief Executive.

5. 10 years Solaris Bus & Coach history

Solaris Bus & Coach. 10 years together. Thanks to you!
The true beginnings of Solaris Bus & Coach can be traced to early 1980s. At that time a
young Polish engineer, Krzysztof Olszewski, running his own car repair workshop travelled to
West Berlin on business. “It was exactly on December 9th 1981. I was planning to return on
December 14th. However, the martial law declared in Poland the d ay before my planned
return trip caused me to stay in Berlin. After a long saga of problems I finally managed to
bring my wife and our two children to Berlin,” Krzysztof Olszewski recalls. In January 1982
Krzysztof Olszewski joined Neoplan. Three years later he became a managing director of
one of Neoplan plants in Germany.

In the early 1990s Krzysztof Olszewski decided to return to Poland to start sales of Neoplan
low-floor buses in Poland. “I got permission of the German owners of the company, but
nothing more. In 1994 I opened a Neoplan Poland sales agency in Warsaw and in the same
year I sold my first vehicle. It was the first bus of this type in Poland.”

11
Another milestone came in 1995. “I took part in a tender to supply low-floor city buses to the
city of Poznań and we won a half of the order, to supply 72 buses. One of the conditions was
that the buses had to be built near Poznań. This decided the company’s future. With the
contract in hand and with 36 employees we started the Neoplan Poland manufacturing
plant,” Krzysztof Olszewski recalls the event of 10 years ago.

After a short period of time the company became the leader on the Polish city bus market.

Another milestone for the company came in 1999. In order to meet the market demand and
satisfy customers’ requirements the all-new Urbino 12 low-floor city bus was launched,
marking the birth of the Solaris brand. – Within just 6 months, with a group of young Polish
engineers we designed and engineered an all-new vehicle, a Solaris Urbino low-floor bus,”
says Krzysztof Olszewski. The new bus was launched in May 1999 at the Poznań Motor
Show. The new bus was a hit and in a short time it became a sales success in Poland. A
year later it was offered in export markets. The first export order came for a Solaris Urbino 15
from the Czech city of Ostrava.

1st September of 2001 marks the cornerstone in the history of the company. That day,
following the buy-out by Krzysztof Olszewski of the 30 per cent shareholding held for a year
by Neoplan, the company was renamed Solaris Bus & Coach Limited. As of July 1st, 2005
Solaris Bus & Coach has been trading as a share company.

Today the Solaris product portfolio comprises the third-generation of the Solaris Urbino low-
floor city buses, with the lengths of 10, 12, 15 and 18 metres, available with diesel or CNG
power, the Solaris Trollino 12, 15 and 18 trolley bus range, plus a family of Solaris Vacanza
12 and 13 tourist coaches. Solaris also builds specialist vehicles to order, such as mobile
blood-collection units based on a tourist coach.

Currently the company employs in excess of 1000 people. Nearly 80% of the entire Solaris
production is exported. During the 10 years in operation the company has attracted over 80
export customers and 64 operators run Solaris buses in Poland. In reality this means that
there is not a single municipality in Poland with its own city bus transport that does not have
a Solaris bus in its fleet. Outside Poland Solaris buses and coaches can be seen in operation
in: Austria, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania. Latvia,
Malta, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Switzerland, Sweden and soon in Denmark.

The well-known Solaris logo is “Dachsie”, a green dachshund dog devised by Solange
Olszewska, Krzysztof Olszewski’s wife, who is Solaris Deputy President in charge of
Customer Relations. She has supported her husband right from the start. “Being responsible
among other things, for the company image, I tried to devise a symbol or a logo that would
distinguish our buses from the competitors’ products. A green dachshund fits the bill
perfectly. It has a long body, just like a bus, it has short legs and is low-slung just like our
low-floor buses, it eats little because our buses are very fuel-efficient, it is green because our
products environment-friendly, and, last but not least, it is thoroughly devoted to its master,
just like we are completely at our customers’ service,” explains Solange Olszewska.

The success of the family-run company based in Bolechowo has been acknowledged several
times in the shape of various prizes and awards, both home and abroad. 2005 brought a very
important recognition to Solange Olszewska, Solaris Bus & Coach S.A. Deputy President,
who was presented with the prestigious „Bus Builder of the Year” award at the Busworld
international show at Kortrijk in Belgium last October. The award is given to outstanding
personalities of the bus industry for the outstanding personal contribution to the growth of the
bus industry and the “art of building buses”. This shows that the progress made by Solaris is
appreciated not only in Poland, but also n Europe.

12
Solaris Bus & Coach believes in continuous growth and product development. “We are
extremely happy and proud that we are able to mark the company’s 10th anniversary by
opening a brand new manufacturing facility. During this jubilee year we plan further product
launches. We do hope that thanks to our customers who have been with us for such along
time, the next decade will be equally successful for Solaris Bus & Coach,” said Solange and
Krzysztof Olszewscy.

For the period ending in June 2006 a total of over 2600 buses and coaches have left the
Solaris Bus & Coach factory. Nearly 1300 units have been delivered to operators across
Poland, while the remainder have been exported to customers located in some 80 cities and
towns in 15 European markets.

Krzysztof Olszewski - Biographical Note

Krzysztof Olszewski, MEng., was born on 26.11.1951 in Wrocław. He is the founder,

chairman and chief executive of Solaris Bus & Coach Co. (trading as Neoplan Polska Ltd.
until 2001).

He obtained a master’s degree in machinery engineering from the Warsaw Technical

University. Between 1976 and 1980 he worked as a self-employed specialist in the
automotive engineering sector.

Following the political turmoil in December 1981 when the introduction of martial law in
communist Poland effectively barred him from returning to Poland, he settled in West Berlin
and remained there for the following 14 years. In January 1982 he joined the Neoplan
manufacturing plant in Berlin and three years later he became managing director of the plant.

On his return to Poland in 1994 he established Neoplan Poland, an independent Neoplan

bus sales agency, with a 100 per cent shareholding held by the Olszewski family. Two years
later a bus manufacturing plant was opened in Bolechowo, north of Poznań. Thanks to a very
successful entry onto the Polish market and rapidly expanding production, Neoplan Poland
became the leader in the production of low-floor city buses in Poland just two years after the
company was founded.

1999 marked the birth of the Solaris brand and the launch of the all-new Solaris Urbino
low-floor city bus.

In September 2001 Krzysztof Olszewski bought out the Neoplan’s stock and the company
changed name to Solaris Bus & Coach. July 1st 2005 Solaris Bus & Coach has been
transformed from a limited liability company to a joint-stock company.
