History of the Jelcz T120/3 Ewa

The T120/3 Ewa was a long-distance coach built by Jelcz from 1998 to 2004, the last years of the company’s bus production. Its construction followed the Jelcz T120, the tourist and intercity coach developed from the PR110D, and it formed part of the T120/x Ewa series. Coaches of the series were used by regional operators, among them PKS Jasło, and examples have survived in preservation.

Because the available source describes the model only in outline, this page records its place in the Jelcz range rather than technical detail; the fuller account of the family’s engine, gearbox and body is in the article on the Jelcz T120, on which the Ewa was based.
