Irisbus Midway

The Irisbus Midway is a midi sized inter-urban coach that Irisbus, the bus and coach company of the Iveco group, sold from 2004 to 2008. It was shown in October 2003 at the Busworld fair in Kortrijk, Belgium, and was bodied by Ikarus on an Iveco MidiRider chassis, with assembly at the Ikarus plant in Budapest and at Karosa, two subsidiaries of Irisbus Iveco. A rear mounted Iveco Tector F4A six cylinder engine drives it. The Midway is the cheaper sibling of the Irisbus Midys, with a less powerful engine, no air conditioning and no option of a rear toilet. Two door layouts were offered: a front door with a rear door in the rear overhang, or a front door with a wide central door and a wheelchair lift. Some Czech sources count 298 registered in Europe up to 2008, and its infobox lists a second production run from 2009 to 2013. It sold strongly in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Poland, and in France 188 were registered for regional TER lines, school and municipal transport, the gendarmerie and the army.
