Ikarus 262

The Ikarus 262 was a city bus type developed by Ikarus in the 1970s that existed only at prototype level. In the early 1970s the factory considered a 12 metre solo bus, and the 262 was built in parallel with the prototype of the articulated Ikarus 282 as its solo counterpart. Its body was essentially that of the Ikarus 260, stretched by about one metre with an extra window between the front door and the next window. The prototypes were used for tests at the manufacturer two plants. Series production never followed because demand for 12 metre buses had not yet appeared, but the experience was later widely used in the Ikarus 263.
