NABI 436

The North American Bus Industries 436 (also known as 60-SFW) was a 60-foot high floor articulated transit bus. The 436 was introduced by Ikarus in 1987, then built by Ikarus USA in 1991 and American Ikarus from 1992 to 1996 before passing on to NABI. The NABI 436 (along with the 60-LFW) was offered until 2008, but the last units were built for San Mateo County Transit District in 2002.

Design history

The 436 is an American derivative of the 435, a standard articulated transit bus produced by Ikarus in Hungary. The 436 most closely resembles the 435, however the 436 is longer and has a different drivetrain configuration. The rear fascia of the 436 has provisions for an HVAC unit or a rear window.

The 436 uses a steel structure that is phosphate coated to protect from corrosion. Wheel housings, stairwells, main electrical compartment and battery compartment are stainless steel. Body panels and access doors are either sheet metal or fibre reinforced polymer. The bus is available with two or three doors and choice of wide or narrow doors.
