Ikarus 285

The Ikarus 285 was a right-hand-drive articulated bus from the Ikarus bus and vehicle works, of which only the prototype was completed. Its left-hand-drive counterpart is the Ikarus 283. The type was developed for Malaysia, where traffic drives on the left, but series production did not follow. The only finished vehicle never left Hungary: it was converted to normal left-hand drive with its doors moved to the right side and entered service near Szekesfehervar with VT-Transman in 1999 with the plate GMY-323. It was re-registered FIS-943 in 2003 and scrapped in 2008. It had 2-0-2-0 plug doors and the type code 285.00, elsewhere given as 285.K1. Thailand imported 40 Mercedes-engined chassis that local firms bodied.
