Ikarus 260T

The BKV Ikarus 260T was the first Hungarian-developed trolleybus built on a body of the Ikarus 200 series. It was finished in 1974 and fitted with the equipment of a ZiU-5, as a joint development of the Budapest transport company BKV and Ikarus. It entered service on 27 January 1975 in the yellow and cream colours of the Soviet export design, carried passengers from 2 February, and was repainted red on 16 June 1976. It never went into series production, and the single vehicle ran on every Budapest trolleybus line, the last being line 72. It was scrapped on 11 August 1995; its poor frame condition meant it was later broken up, and a replica was built from a bus. A second example was built with Ganz equipment for export to East Germany, shown at the Leipzig fair and run in Weimar. Converted diesel buses called Chollima 951 also ran in North Korea from 2007 to 2017.
