Answer KH5-2012 Śmieciarka Jelcz 315

Jelcz 315 is a Polish truck, the first prototypes of which were made at the turn of 1966-1967. Its serial production was carried out in the years 1968 / 1969-1982 and took place in Zakłady Samochodowe Jelcz. The Jelcz 315 was developed as a successor to the Żubr A80 truck. Compared to its prototype, it differed in many structural elements and components. Generally, efforts were made to eliminate the greatest possible number of errors and defects that appeared during the operation of the Żubr vehicles. Above all, a completely new power unit was used, which was produced under a license from the British company Leyland, as well as a gearbox developed from scratch at FPS Tczew. The steering system with integral power steering and the braking system were also used. The driver's cabin has also been significantly changed, improving the comfort of his work. Finally, the Jelcz 315 turned out to be a much more successful vehicle than the Żubr A80, and its chassis was used for such specialized vehicles as, for example, a garbage truck, a dumper truck or a tanker.
