Polonez ambulance/van, prototype

3D Model

The Polonez ambulance/van is a light delivery vehicle based on the design and components of the FSO Polonez passenger car. Developed between 1985 and 1990 by the Zakład Samochodów Dostawczych in Nysa, the vehicle was intended to be mainly used for sanitary transportation. Over time it was to replace the outdated Nysa 522.

The prototype had a mixed structure: the body front was monocoque, the cargo space was based on a frame. The roof of both parts of the vehicle had a flexible connection with a stress and vibration damper – a solution that was patented. Despite the favourable results of the prototype testing it was never launched into mass production.
