	North American Bus Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though American Ikarus was more successful than its predecessors, by the mid 1990s Ikarus decided that they wanted to leave the North American market given increased competition in Europe.
		In 1996, Ikarus sold their share of American Ikarus to the First Hungary Fund which took on the current NABI brand name and NABI Rt.
		This model was also notable for being the first transit bus in North America to be available in a 45-foot length (model 45C-LFW) in addition to the standard 40-foot (model 40C-LFW).

		North American Bus Industries (NABI), a Hungarian bus maker, is a major player in the US and is increasingly successful in Western Europe.
		This is a minor advantage on the manufacturing side, where labour accounts for 8% of costs, but a major benefit on the design side: top-notch Hungarian engineers earn about one-tenth the salary of their US counterparts.
		It has invested heavily in research and development to be at the forefront of bus design—a remarkable achievement for a young company based in a country more accustomed to producing rugged, simple buses.

		RATIONALE An increasing number of MTA bus routes are seeing higher sustained ridership levels that could be served more effectively with higher capacity vehicles.
		Until recently, the North American bus manufacturers had few options for alternative-fueled, low floor, urban transit bus designs larger than 40 feet and 40 seats.
		The most significant changes are to provide a required, wider, “slide-glide” rear door that matches the curved exterior contour of the bus and to add padded seat inserts.
