Jelcz is a Polish brand of trucks, buses and trolley buses produced by Zakłady Samochodowe Jelcz SA (ZS Jelcz SA) , a division of Jelczańskie Zakłady Samochodowe or (JZS). Currently Zakłady Samochodowe Jelcz SA is closed.
In 1952, a decision was made to use a former German armaments factory in Jelcz-Laskowice near Oława for production. A company called "Zakłady Budowy Nadwozi Samochodowych" ("Factory for building car-bodies") was established. After reconstruction of the factory the company started to develop and build car-bodies for Lublin and Star trucks.
