The ZIL-118 , also called Junost ( Russian ЗИЛ-118 (Юность) ), was a bus made by the Soviet manufacturer Zavod imeni Lichatschowa , or ZIL for short. From 1962, the vehicle was produced in small series. It was luxuriously furnished and only a small number was built for special customers. The last vehicle was manufactured in 1993.

History

In 1962 the production of the basic version ZIL-118 began, which was built unchanged until 1965. This year there were slight modifications to the vehicle, the result was built until 1970. After that, the buses were designated as ZIL-118K. The model had previously been sold briefly as the ZIL-119. The last vehicle was manufactured in 1993, although there have been years in which no ZIL-118 was produced. In 1995 there was another attempt to renew the construction. However, the company was discontinued without result. All in all, only 93 examples of the vehicle were built.

The ZIL-3250 minibus was mass- produced from 1998 until ZIL went bankrupt .
