Ikarus 246

The Ikarus 246 was a solo bus developed by the Ikarus bus and vehicle works for China and Kazakhstan, but only a single vehicle was ever built. The prototype was completed in 1996 and went to Pecs in Hungary with the registration DUD-688, where it received the plate KAZ-449 in 2007. The operator Tuke Busz removed it from its fleet on 3 July 2015. Efforts were made to preserve it, and for the time being it waits on a trial registration plate. It is a small footnote in the history of the Hungarian builder, which designed it for export markets that never placed a series order.
