Talk:Solaris Bus & Coach

Latest comment: 2 years ago by Iñaki LL in topic Company ownership?

Because of a fire in one of the trolleys, all Riga's Solaris trolleybuses were returned (I read somewhere that between 2001–2004 all in all 65 had been acquired). Pity that I can't remember the source, but it was in a trolleybus-related interest page. -Mardus 16:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

My bad, I confused Solarises with AKSM's (from Byelorus). Anyway, I found the source[1], but the page's JavaScript redirects to the gallery page, where images are not clickable, unless there's a frameset. Go to http://public-transport.net/bus/Trolley.htm , see where Riga I is in the left frame, choose Overview I, then in the right frame gallery, fourth image from second row and then see a caption under the image. The text on the source URL is nicely visible with Lynx, though ;). -Mardus 16:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Company ownership? edit

Looking through the press releases of CAF and Solaris about the acquisition, both the Solaris release, and the CAF release say that CAF acquired 100% of the shares, but later proceed to add that the Polish Development Fund obtained 35%. It seems to be unclear what the final ownership is. MKH1020 (talk) 20:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi MKH1020, it seems clear that CAF sold 35% of its assets to the Fund, but keeping ultimately the bulk of the assets and control of the company. Iñaki LL (talk) 22:37, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
