Ikarus C80

The Ikarus C80 was a bus built by the Ikarus factory in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, from 1998 to 2002. It is not to be confused with the Ikarus 280 refurbished with the restyled front and rear walls typical of the Classic family. Fourteen Volán companies ran the type before the regional transport centres were created, and from the beginning of 2015 those centres kept running C80 buses in local and regional traffic, mainly at peak times; their vehicles were taken over by Volánbusz on 1 October 2019. The first bus, registered GRZ-230, was built with a mechanical gearbox, belongs to Volánbusz and is part of its heritage fleet. The vehicles delivered in the first two years, 32 in all, were still registered as Ikarus 280. Most of the buses have since left service.
