Our purpose is always at the forefront of what we do.
To build a better bus, you must value everything—and everyone—that goes into it, whether it’s the school buses that transport students to class or the city buses that carry us to our destinations.
Whether diesel or electric, long-range trips or short local drives, we have the power to meet your needs today and are pioneering the engines of tomorrow. With an attention to detail and focus on your fleet, we keep you on the road and moving forward.

A zero emission school bus option with a lower total cost of ownership and user-friendly options and features, the Electric CE Series was engineered from the tires up to withstand the rigors of daily use, and arrive at every destination on time, every time.
Of all the requirements IC Bus engineers are tasked with when designing a new bus, one rises above the rest: It must be a safe means of transportation for the children who ride inside. It’s an enormous responsibility and something that we never take for granted.
That’s why the next generation CE Series includes the very latest in safety technology, including standard electronic stability control (air brake models). These features are essential when it comes to empowering the driver with critical information and keeping the children riding inside out of harm’s way.
Visibility is crucially important to any school bus driver. Children of all heights walk next to, in front of, behind and toward the bus–and being able to see them is the only way to ensure they are kept safe.
The Next Generation CE Series includes several enhancements that help boost the situational awareness of the driver.
BY ROSCO
IC Bus offers the industry’s first camera system designed specifically for school buses. Combined with the side mirrors, this advanced system will allow bus drivers to have a “full view” around the bus for total situational awareness, so they can concentrate on driving and keeping kids safe.
Full Camera View Features:
The Bendix Wingman Advanced Safety Package uses radar and an optional video camera (Fusion package) to scan the forward path of the bus. If a slower-moving or stopped vehicle is detected, the system is designed to reduce the severity and likelihood of a rear-end impact through automatic braking and audible alerts.
This integration of various technologies creates a highly detailed data picture that can significantly reduce the chance of a false alert or activation.
The Next Generation CE Series was designed from the beginning to utilize active safety. In fact, the alerts are now integrated into the gauge cluster as opposed to being mounted atop the instrument panel in previous models.
Stationary Vehicle Braking | Provides alert and braking when system definitively identifies stationary car in lane. |
| Stationary Object Alert | Helps reduce the likelihood of hitting a stationary object. |
| Collision Mitigation | Helps reduce the frequency and severity of rear-end collisions. |
| Adaptive Cruise Control | Helps driver maintain gap with forward vehicle. |
| Following Distance Alerts | Helps reinforce a safer distance gap between host and forward vehicles. |
| Overspeed Alert & Action Lane Departure | Warns driver when speeding and alerts the driver to unintended lane change. |
| Alert Prioritization | Provides most critical alert first helping mitigate driver distraction from multiple alerts occurring simultaneously. |
| Impact Alerts | Helps warn the driver that a collision with a forward vehicle is possible. |
The CE Series integrates radar, camera and the vehicle’s brakes, to help provide enhanced safety for today’s North American commercial vehicles
The IC Bus CE Series is available with the most powerful driver assistance system currently available for the commercial vehicle industry.
The system integrates various sensors and brakes into a comprehensive safety suite to help drivers mitigate collisions, rollovers and loss-of-control situations — potentially resulting in lower repair costs and greater peace of mind.
DRIVING SCENARIO:
The vehicle’s speed around a curve has exceeded the ability of the tires to hold the vehicle orientation, causing the vehicle to slide and over-steer.
SYSTEM RESPONSE:
ESC helps to correct the vehicle orientation by reducing speed and, if required, the system quickly applies braking pressure to the appropriate wheels.
DRIVING SCENARIO:
A vehicle enters a curve too fast on high friction pavement. The wheels and the pavement create a “hinge” effect, allowing the forces at the center of gravity to push the vehicle over.
SYSTEM RESPONSE:
ESC applies pressure to all brakes and reduces engine throttle to quickly reduce vehicle speed and help reduce the chance of a rollover.
Every successful trip begins and ends with the driver. That’s why we empower them with tools that elevate their comfort, efficiency and situational awareness in a meaningful and non-intrusive manner.
It’s a philosophy we call DriverFirst™, which is our commitment to do everything we can to provide a working environment that puts drivers in a position to succeed. After all, it’s hard enough to find committed drivers, let alone retain them. So, if we’re able to help by providing a bus that drivers want to drive, then everyone wins.
From sizable potholes to boisterous students, a school bus must face daily punishment. That’s why the CE Series is built to the highest standards at IC Bus’s production facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
