Civil products

[edit]

Minibus chassis have been produced since 2001. AMZ Kutno minibuses use chassis from Ford, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, Opel, Renault, and Volkswagen. Initially, only conversions were performed on buses. Over time, AMZ Kutno started to produce buses with their own, original construction on chassis vans or trucks.

After initial growth, the production of buses began to decrease, due to the transfer of some employees to produce the model Dzik for Iraq. Bus sales in Poland were as follows: 2003 - 60 units, 2004 - 79 units, 2005 - 56 units, 2006 - 39 units, 2007 - 27 units. Export began in 2005. In subsequent years, it was: 2005 - 7 units, 2006 - 24 units, 2007 - 2 units.
