The Crown Ikarus 286 was a articulated transit bus manufactured by Crown Coach Corporation & Ikarus. The prototype 286 was built by Ikarus in late 1977. It was used as Ikarus's demonstration bus to enter the U.S. market. Due to the Federal Transportation Administration's regulations of the time, which would later become the Buy America Act of 1982, the 286 was required to have been built with 50% American labor and 50% American parts. In 1979, Ikarus struck an agreement with Crown, who would complete the assembly of the Hungarian-built buses in Los Angeles, CA. No orders were made after late 1984 and the contract between Crown & Ikarus ceased in 1986 after lawsuits arose from TriMet, due to defects with the buses. Ikarus would later contract with Orion in 1984 to sell the 286 in Canada as the Orion III.
