Sto lat polskiego przemysłu samochodów osobowych
One hundred years of Polish passenger car industry

Summary/Abstract: One can divide the one- hundred- year period of Polish automotive industry history into three phases. The first passenger cars designed in Poland in the beginning of the XXth century were not implemented into a serial or mass production. Some overseas car licenses were purchased and started automotive industry development in the interwar period. In the PRL time some designs of Polish engineers came into serial production. The cars used to be accompanied by cars manufactured under overseas manufacturer’s licenses. The cars influenced passenger car supply dynamism. Those cars used to be sold on domestic and overseas markets. The system transformation has made it possible for Polish customers to purchase cars on western markets. Thanks to the overseas money, accompanied by oversees licenses, car assembly facilities were built in place of Polish cars.
