Poczta Polska is investing in logistics and cash handling by implementing a large-scale fleet modernization program. One of its components is the acquisition of 230 armored vehicles supplied by MAN.
The base vehicles are provided by MAN, while its consortium partner, Interplay, is responsible for the specialized bodywork, including armoring and equipment compliant with the regulation of the Minister of Interior and Administration of September 7, 2010. This is a strategic investment that addresses the scale of the Company’s operations in the area of cash logistics.
Cash remains an important element of economic circulation. Our role is to ensure its safe, efficient, and scalable handling. We are investing in parallel in the digitalization of processes, fleet development, and operational infrastructure. The receipt of these armored vehicles is an important stage in the modernization of our fleet dedicated to the transport of monetary values. We are implementing solutions that increase the level of security, operational efficiency, and the comfort of our teams’ work.
– emphasizes Sławomir Żurawski, Vice President of the Management Board of Poczta Polska for Operations.
Higher efficiency and security levels
The new armored vehicles differ in their security levels and intended use. Type A vehicles provide the highest level of protection and are used for transporting the largest values. Type B offers a high standard of security with great operational flexibility, while Type C armored vehicles – equipped with cash neutralization systems – are suitable for diverse transport conditions.
Poczta currently has nearly 400 armored vehicles, which will be gradually replaced by modern vehicles with higher standards of safety, capacity, and efficiency. A key advantage of the new fleet is the increased payload capacity of the vehicles, which allows for optimizing the number of trips, streamlining route planning, and increasing the productivity of convoy teams. This is a real improvement in operational efficiency and the quality of customer service.
The handover of the first four MAN TGE vehicles to Poczta Polska marks the start of one of the largest specialized commercial vehicle projects in the history of MAN Truck & Bus Polska. In close cooperation with our partner, Inter Play, we are delivering a solution precisely tailored to the demanding needs of secure transport of monetary values for Poczta Polska – one of the leaders of the Polish market. The vehicles combine state-of-the-art technologies, advanced security and protection systems, and the highest manufacturing standards, ensuring maximum reliability in daily operation. We are very proud that these fully integrated vehicles are being built in Poland.
– said Claus Wallenstein, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Polska.
Comprehensive modernization of cash logistics
Investments also include infrastructure and technology. Poczta Polska is currently conducting the largest development program in its history in the area of cash logistics, which, in addition to fleet replacement, includes the modernization of sorting centers, the replacement of cash sorters, and the implementation of an IT system for comprehensive process management.
The modern IT system, which is already being implemented, will become the central tool for managing cash logistics. The solution will cover all key operational processes – from receiving a client’s order, through the transport of monetary values and sorting center operations, to settlements and reporting. The system will replace existing fragmented solutions and paper-based processes, increasing efficiency, transparency, and operational security.
Combining investments in a modern IT system, fleet, and infrastructure creates a coherent direction for development – digitalization, increased efficiency, and strengthening operational competencies. Poczta Polska is consistently building its position as one of the key cash logistics operators in Poland, responding to the real needs of the market and citizens.
Poczta Polska provides cash logistics services both for its own needs and for external clients. Nearly 200,000 transports of monetary values are carried out monthly, and the Company processes approximately 150 billion PLN annually. Thanks to its nationwide coverage, 31 cash handling centers, and a team of approximately 2,500 employees in the Department of Security and Cash Logistics, Poczta Polska ensures the continuity and security of financial services throughout the country.
