Source-derived summary

The Jelcz M125M (to 2001 called "Dana", after "Vecto") – 12-meters long, first rigid (non-articulated) full-size low-floor bus designed by Zakłady Samochodowe Jelcz S.A. in Jelcz-Laskowice (and the first Polish 100% low-floor bus). Produced from 1998 to 2006, it was supplied by Jelcz until their collapse in 2008. It is a competitor to the other full-size low-floor buses from other European countries.

The M125M Vecto model was created from scratch and was not directly structurally based on the previous vehicles from Jelcz.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Jelcz M125M” as motor vehicle. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2001, 1998, 2006, 2008—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Jelcz, M125M and motor can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as motor vehicle. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11724033. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2001, 1998, 2006 and 2008.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
