MAZ-103 Belarussian Semi-low-floor Bus
MAZ-103 is a Belarusian semi-low-floor (step at the back door) large-capacity city bus, produced by the Minsk Automobile Plant since 1996. It was the base for a family of several models of various layouts and purposes.
In 1992, the Minsk Automobile Plant signed a license agreement with Neoplan. As a result, the MAZ-101 model appeared, but its price and low reliability when operating on poor quality roads made it uncompetitive in the CIS market. As a result, only five licensed buses were built in "pure form". At the plant, it was decided to introduce domestic components, while adapting the design to local conditions. As a result, the MAZ-103 bus was developed, on which a rear axle of its own design was used instead of the portal axle installed on the MAZ-101. This led to the appearance of a step in the back door (there are no steps in the other two doors), but it had a positive effect on the price, reliability and maintainability of the bus.
In January 2021, in connection with the launch of the third generation bus MAZ-303, an order was signed to remove the MAZ-103 from production. But with the increase in demand, production continues.
It is operated in several dozen cities of Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Poland.
