IC Bus introduced the next generation of school bus transportation. Designed around three guiding principles – fostering a healthy future, leading in safety and technology, and offering solutions. When looking at the next generation, the all-new IC Bus® CE Series helps accelerate the impact of sustainable mobility through the availability of diesel and electric powertrain options.

The next generation outlook includes education in neighborhoods on both the environmental and safety impacts of utilizing school buses for transportation. The goal of IC Bus is to provide peace of mind that school districts can align with a brand focused on community well-being. The next generation of IC Bus is driven by enhanced safety for drivers and students, improved operating efficiency, and reduced operating costs.

Working from extensive customer feedback and industry experience, the all-new CE Series incorporates updates that focus on enhanced safety specifications and innovative functionality options. A multitude of integrated driver assistance systems, design enhancements geared toward safety, factory-installed telematics systems, and driver comfortability improvements build on the brand's options. Navistar is leveraging partnerships and resources as part of the TRATON Group to accelerate progress on technologies that anticipate and help manage coming demands.

This has allowed for accelerated progress on systems and technologies to better meet customers' needs. Through the development of proactive and predictive tools, analytical insights, and vehicle connectivity, IC Bus has worked to reduce unplanned downtime and help to improve on-time performance. These proactive tools assist in the ability to schedule service appointments, get daily updates, and communications electronically through the IC Bus® 360 portal, and monitor charge history and vehicle efficiency data.
