Budapest, Hungary's capitol use
Ziu-9, Ikarus 280T, 412T, 435T nowdays, but in the past, they used
Ziu-5
In the 1950s Budapest used
MTB-82 too!
The first trolley in Budapest was the line 70, in 1949, it's 70 because it was the 70th birthday of Stalin. At that time, MTB-82 trolleys run in Budapest, and some Ikarus 60T trolleys, later some Ikarus 60T articulated.
In the 1960s, Ziu-9 trolleys run there, in the 1970s and 1980s Ziu-9 and Ikarus 280T articulated, and Ikarus 284T, but only a prototype.
From the 1990s, Ikarus 435T articulated runs, nowdays, Ziu-9 and IK 280T still runs, and Ikarus 412T, trolley version of low-floor 12 meters long Ikarus city liner bus.
Ikarus 284T (prototype)
The Ikarus 284T, it has rear engine and the axle C is driven, it was a prototype, and sadly some foreigner engineers made that crappy electronics of it, unlike others which use Russian or Hungarian electronic engine, so nobody can translate the plan of the electric engine, so they can't repair it
Ikarus 415T
Ikarus 415T was a prototype in 1992, it did testrun in Hungary, it took part on vehicle shows, in Berlin, Athens, Bratislava. It was sell to a foreign country.
Ikarus 415T wasn't used by Hugary, but Bucarest, Romania and those have Romanian electronics.
And there were a prototype with Russian (dynamo) electronics, which use many part of Ziu-9, but with modern digital electronics, but it was a prototype only.
Ikarus 435T
Ikarus 435 diesel bus has rear engine, and the axle C is driven. But trolley buses are different... their electric engine drive their axle B, unlike the diesel bus version.
There were a prototype, a bi-powered bus, a rear diesel engine, drive axle C, and a middle electric engine drive axle B. But the electronic was made by AEG (or what) and it has many problems, so the trolleybus mode was crappy, they dumb the electronics and use it as Diesel bus in Szekesfehervar, Hungary.
Ikarus 412T
That's a very modern trolleybus, it is trolleybus version of Ikarus 412, a low-floor diesel bus. The prototype of it was Ikarus 411T, and it was 11 meters long, 412T is 12 meters long
(the pic is showing pantograph replace, this bus have electronic engine only, no diesel self-driving engine, so if they go to depot, driver have to replace the pantographs from the overhead cables to the another overhead wires)
In the 1930s, there were a test line but it was a bit primitive, and it used some Hungarian trolleys, but it isn't too important...
