First of all, shows, how much polish transport market is coherent with markets of western Europe, writes in report EurotaxGlass's company. The market follows the same trends and exactly the same way, reacting to the economic situation. Polish carriers drastically reduced their purchases of cars, new and used. A sole positive signal is relatively big interest of Euro vehicles 4/5. Introduction of new charges on German highways promoting the most ecological cars, does not leave choice. Besides, Euro 5 norm becoming obligatory for all new vehicles in October this year. Interest in the Euro 3 vehicles comes almost exclusively from country market and is very limited. All this makes that the difference between the value of trucks Euro 4 / 5 and Euro 3 is constantly growing. While the value of Euro 4 / 5 has stabilized, the Euro 3 are still declining, although not as fast as few months ago. This trend is expected in the near future. Prices of used cars in Poland has not reacted to changes in the euro exchange value.
Cars in commission sales is so many, that value has fallen below level of other European markets, and import practically is dead. Western European carriers take advantage situation and willfully buy cars in Poland. Similar is with semi trailers market, which prices also very fall. Nobody can forecast by when this situation will be permanent. Only positive signals streaming from economy can give impulse for intensive shopping. In recent years, good prosperity for trucks purchase covered with introduction next ecological standards (Euro 3 in 2001, Euro 4 in 2006) This time, the introduction of Euro 5 standard rather will have no impact on the market. Especially that vehicles which granting this standard are available as a serial from 2006. Cautious calculations assume revival the market in 2010. Not only truck markets have problems. Bus industry also survives troubles. Uncertainty concerning the economic situation does not promote supply to new busses. Contrary to trucks, this market is more a lot sensitive on fluctuations of Euro rate. Production on slope is small and present, high rate has caused growth of their price 30%. It additional holds carries before shopping. In last year in Poland became sold about 1600 new buses. As EurotaxGlass's serves- this year with whole certitude will be worse. Particularly in segment of touristic coach. Rather will not be repeated last year's shopping of luxury and expensive busses advantageous due to strong złoty. This year importers define as year of surviving. This situation causes, that national producers and importers diversify offer and trying to hit to market niches. Majority of they puts on inter-city market introducing to their offer new models ( Euro leader Autosana, Futura FLD Bovy, new Solaris bus). However all are consistent, that drop of Euro rate and stabilization of economical status can can positively influence the demand.
Looking from the point of view o value, in last year cheapened touristic busses and inter-city with Euro 2 engines so seven years old and older. Still wanted are young busses, several years old, but their availability is very limited, and prices quite high. Most often they come from linear movement, but they are not chosen willfully. From the point of view of huge course, they require additional financial edition. Shows also certain interest with 810 meter long coaches. Until quite lately seldom met in Poland
