Ikarus 220

The Ikarus 220 was an experimental solo bus for city and suburban service, of which Ikarus built a single example. The prototype, known as the 220.K1, was finished at Székesfehérvár by the end of 1970, and the Hungarian reference sources date its manufacture to 1970 and 1971. It was a shorter relative of the 240 and 242 pair, with the same cross-section as the 242 and a single step at the first door, but only 9.63 metres long. It was meant to be the direct successor of the Ikarus 620 and carried 26 seated and 44 standing passengers. Its 4.5 tonne front axle, designed by AUTOKUT, had no supplier, because the Rába works at Győr would not build it and offers from other Comecon countries did not fit, so the main part was made in the experimental shop at Székesfehérvár. The bus never entered series production.
