Because Russia has not produced articulated bus models, in 1994, the buses began to collect at the Moscow plant “Tushino-Avto”. The work begins with the installation of the seats and trim are almost ready buses, but in 1996 was released «Ikarus 280.33 M” standard green and white colors. Released the Tushino factory at the turn of the new century, modification «Ikarus 280.33M2” worked on gas. The production of these buses completely stopped in 2002.

Description popular model bus

«Ikarus 280” - articulated bus high-capacity, with a powerful engine, designed for densely populated major cities. Wide aisle allow easy access to the salon. In the Soviet Union and later Russia supplied versions with completely separate from the interior cabin of the driver and three rows of single seats with armrests. Large cumulative area in front of the rear doors allowed to arrange on it a lot of passengers, not hinder the movement of the passage. Ventilation provided through ceiling hatches with rubber seals and air vents in the quarter, and then half side of the window.

The driver was equipped with a high mounted seat, which regulated not only the height, backrest and cushion, but also the weight of the driver.Ikarus 280 specifications

Switches are the main devices on the dashboard was located to the left and to the right were the toggle switches to open four double doors of the bus. Dual cylinders allows you to open both halves of the door at the same time. On the early models door was platen, and later – a turning point. If the city bus was a four-door, the suburban, where embarkation and disembarkation of passengers is carried out less frequently, there were two of them, in the cabin of the tractor and trailer.

Advantages and disadvantages

Bus Model «Ikarus 280” characterized by simplicity, good adaptability to difficult environmental conditions, high passenger capacity and a convenient layout of the interior. Workers operators say they still have not created the bus more reliable, economical and easy to operate.

“Icarus" of the typical high floor location, however, is straight along its entire length without steps or ramps, and two steps at the passenger doors, a few slow loading and unloading of passengers. This design feature is considered a major drawback of the bus.Ikarus 280 model

The Drawback of this model and consider the design of the heating system of the cabin. In the winter the cabin was heated by two independent heaters "Sirocco" who actively consumed diesel fuel. In an effort to save fuel, the drivers not turn on the heaters and the bus was cold.

Could be a disadvantage and weak anti-corrosion treatment of the body, although developers are unlikely to have planned a lifetime for their machines for more than twenty years, including for the model «Ikarus 280”.

Specifications model

During the production of buses 280-th model transmission were mechanical, was leading the rear wheels of the tractor, the steering axle of the trailerprovided long articulated bus excellent maneuverability. The elastic suspension elements were pneumatic cushion. The tractor and trailer are connected pivotally by node junction. In the cabin of the traction steering wheels of the trailer were closed consisting of two parts swivel around.

The Motor was specially designed for buses, the layout of which provides the horizontal position of the cylinders. The engine, made under license German company MAN, has varied and refined in accordance with the requirements of environmental safety. Because it was located under the floor, the exhaust gases in the cabin did not fall.

Brake system was specially developed for transportation safety in urban environments. The Parking brake was combined with the alternate brake system. The engine retarder was as an auxiliary brake. In cold weather the system is protected from freezing half-liter of alcohol a fuse.

The Fuel tank is 260 litres of diesel fuel. Package includes full documentation package, which facilitates not only the operation, but also repair of buses.

Reviews of operators

To ease maintenance of the bus is very important that the access to the transmission and the engine are possible via the hinged cover on the left side and special technical hatches in the floor of the cabin.

Manual transmission, maybe outdated technical solution, but in the urban winter (in Russia at least four months of the year), ice and groomed snow only it helps the driver in low gear, bring the heavy car on the slippery climb. Drivers «Ikarus» praise the clutch pedal and comfortable gear that works very accurately, because in this model, the drive rod gear shift – this powerful shaft, not the cables, as in later models.

A Big distance between the side handrail on a turntable and the housing of bellows “bunching” forced the driver is often to get the fallen belongings of passengers at stops lifting the lid of the turntable.

In the cold winter in the bus passengers always complained, but it was not so much a question of the design of the heating system how much to save fuel. Repairers believe that the new releases «Ikarus 280" of the stove warm bad already because of shortcomings in the design, because the lag is leaking from the cooling system to the furnaces a second thermostat, which is mounted behind the front facing panel.
