Soviet buses that were warm in winter, but not always

Many people remember the Soviet era well. buses. They are still used in some places, but these are rather exceptions. There were few models in the USSR, but each one was remembered for something good. Remember the public transport of previous years are offered on the channel "AUTO HISTORY". And not just like that, but according to the criterion of the level of warmth in the cabin. The first on the list is the Ikarus 280th series bus. These worked in large cities on the lines. They were loved primarily for their speed and spaciousness in the cabin. The latter was important, since not everyone managed to leave the crowded stops at that time.

But, despite all the advantages, the cold in the Ikarus buses was terrible in winter. And people there did not freeze very much only because they warmed each other in the crush, albeit involuntarily. But the Hungarian buses were designed to be warm. The designers modified them for the USSR. That is why they had special "stoves" - like "Webasto", and technically - like "Zaporozhets", only more complicated, with a connection to the on-board network. They ran on diesel fuel and this became a problem during the "Perestroika". Drivers saved fuel and did not turn on the cabin heaters. As a result, people suffered. The video will also feature other buses from the Soviet period. It is just right to remember which of them seemed the warmest in winter.
