Ikarus 412T

The Ikarus 412T is a trolleybus type made on the basis of the Ikarus 412 bus. The bodies came from the Ikarus body and vehicle factory and the electrical equipment from Ganz-Ansaldo, Kiepe and Obus. A total of 20 were built, five for Tallinn and 15 for Budapest. Its forerunner was the single Ikarus 411T, shown in 1995. Tallinn ordered vehicles one metre longer than the 411T, which changed the type code to 412T, and its five ran in the Estonian capital from 1999 to 2015 in blue and white. The Budapest transport company BKV chose the type in a tender for 15 new trolleybuses, and they entered service in May and July 2002 with fleet numbers 700 to 714. In 2014 BKV also rebuilt two scrapped Ikarus 412 buses into trolleybuses, called Ikarus-BKV 412.81GT, which entered service in 2016. By 2026 only two of the original series were still in the fleet.
