The '''[[North American Bus Industries]] 416''' (also known as 40-SFW) is a 40 foot high floor transit bus. It was based on the 415 model by Ikarus in Europe. The 416 was originally produced by [[Ikarus USA]] in 1989, then [[American Ikarus]] from 1992-96. The welded steel structure is phosphated internally and externally, coated internally with anti-corrosion material, and coated with epoxy externally. The underfloor area is undercoated, as well as insides of roof and side skins to prevent drumming and condensate formation. Wheelhousings, stepwells, main electrical compartment and battery compartment are stainless steel. The 416 is available in two or one door configurations and choice of wide or narrow doors.

Design history

First generation 416.

The 416 is an American derivative of the standard transit bus produced by Ikarus in Hungary. The 416 most closely resembles the 415, however the 416 is longer and has a different drivetrain configuration. The rear fascia of the 416 has provisions for an HVAC unit or a rear window.

The 416 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.

In 2008, NABI introduced a redesigned 416 with a sleek curved front. The rectangular headlights were replaced with recessed, round headlights in a bezel that followed the curvature of the A-pillar. Its appearance is similar to the second generation 40-LFW. The rear of the 416 was redesigned to accommodate a high mounted radiator and charge air cooler as specified by New Jersey Transit, who first received the redesigned model.
