IC Bus Delivers CE Series School Buses with Cummins ISB Engine
IC Bus has announced that it has started customer shipments of its first CE Series school buses with the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engine.
The first units were released on Jan. 27 from the company’s Tulsa, Okla., assembly plant.
“Adding the Cummins ISB as an offering on our CE Series buses was intended to provide us with a new opportunity for growth and we are excited to already see results reflected in the first two months of orders,” said John McKinney, president, Navistar global bus.
“Customers now have access to the broadest selection of mid-range diesel engines in the industry and we are encouraged by the long-term market potential for the CE Series,” he added.
IC Bus CE Series buses are available with the MaxxForce® 7, MaxxForce DT and the Cummins ISB 6.7-liter engines. To date, IC Bus has received more than 2,000 orders for CE Series buses with the Cummins ISB engine.
The CE Series school bus offers the widest entry doors in the industry at 32 inches. It also comes standard with a Leave No Student Behind® alarm system that requires drivers to disable an alarm at the rear of the bus before exiting, ensuring no student is overlooked.
IC Bus CE Series school buses are built with 16-gauge steel side rails and an 18,500-lb rear steel spring suspension standard. And, when service is required, the bus’s Easy-tilt® three-piece hood and exterior electrical panel makes maintenance trips quicker and easier—increasing vehicle uptime.
