There will be probably no more 118N. The factory has financial problems and lost all tenders. But it is possible that Solaris will buy that factory.
o maj gudnes! jaka tandeta! nie zdawałem sobie sprawy / o my goodness! I didn't know that this control desk is so crappy :-O
More photos of 118N is there - http://tramwar4.republika.pl/tw118n.html
@Dvigar: FPS did not pre-qualify for the Poznan tender, which was won by Solaris. PESA staged a protest, which - if they really do go down all the legal avenues available to them - may spell the cancellation of the tender, loss of EU funding for low-floor trams, and rusty Duewags ferrying passengers to the footy in 2012... FPS is in deep financial trouble, the mother company (which builds ship engines and the like) has laid off around 500 workers, and rumours are the state will want to sell off the family silver to counter the effects of the financial crisis - in which case FPS will be one of the first to be sold. Should this happen, methinks Solaris may stand to gain a useful outstation for building its trams, provided their design proves successful, and they actually do win the Poznan contract.
Interesting - thanks
Bez przesady z tym lamentem, w końcu to prototyp.
