IC Corporation BE Series School Bus
Our customers asked for a small bus with practical features that make it more functional to operate while costing less to own and maintain than a cutaway. One that enriches the owner, excites the driver, delights the maintainer and provides protection to the passenger.
That's the IC Bus BE Series. The small bus that enriches the owner with lowest cost of ownership, excites the driver with excellent ergonomics, delights the maintainer with higher uptime and greater serviceability while protecting the passenger with the same quality that is built into all of our school buses.

Small Bus. Big Ideas.
Built to safely and reliably transport 14-30 students, the BE Series school bus from IC Bus is the perfect small bus. Perfect because it was built on big ideas based on what you need in a bus. Big ideas like integrating the body, chassis and engine. Big ideas like not building it on a van platform like other small buses. And big ideas like building it for a 12-year life instead of a 7-year life like typical Type A buses. And it’s even backed by a big time warranty. Add to all this: full power hydraulic brakes with ABS and ATC, a MaxxForce® 7 engine and an Allison 1000 PTS transmission, and you’ll find that IC Bus has its customers in mind by using big thinking to make the best small bus on the road.
