Although YaAZ-5267 looks similar to LiAZ-5256, inside they are VERY different. In fact it is Ikarus-260, "clothed" into the LiAZ-5256 body panels with Raba (D2156 or D10) engine between axles. But this hybrid wasn't successful at all: the quality of Yakhroma Bus was awful, construction was based on compromisses and was incomplete, and there were less then 40 YaAZ-5267 built. Most of them are already scrapped or turned to utility buses, and only ones are still work on routes.
They are still alive because of one thing: they stayed broken in busparks for too long time, and that's why didn't work enough to be scrapped
