School Buses

IC Corporation CE Series School Bus

The CE Series School Bus from IC Bus was built with you in mind. Easier to operate and service, and more reliable and economical, this school bus was designed by listening to those who know what’s needed to get the job done right: drivers, mechanics, fleet supervisors and administrators. We’ve found

that safe student transportation is a team effort. It’s just one of the differences between IC Bus and the others. And that difference has led to the CE Series School Bus.

While You're Focused On The Students, We're Focused On You

We went to drivers, fleet supervisors, school administrators and mechanics and asked them what they wanted in a school bus. But we didn't stop there. We went out and videotaped hours and hours of footage of drivers performing their jobs. We studied repetitive movements. Looked at how they use the controls and in what sequence. We didn't stop there either. We took exact measurements of 1,500 drivers of all sizes and shapes. As a result, the CE Series interior environment is an ergonomic marvel for drivers. With the CE Series, it's the little things that make the difference. Like making sure the windshield wiper pattern provides a clear, wiped view of side-view mirrors. Placing pedals, switches and controls where they make the most sense for the most drivers. And offering a roped-in flat windshield that is faster and less costly to repair than the curved and bonded variety. Nothing revolutionary – just practical, commonsense features that make the CE Series a better bus to own, drive and maintain. It's amazing what happens when you listen to customers and think about buses from their point of view.

Interior Features

  • Controls for the power door, warning lights and other high-use items are placed on the steering wheel for greater driver convenience.
  • An exclusive “one-button” stop feature improves ergonomics by significantly reducing the number of driver tasks and movements required for loading and unloading children.  It enables the driver to keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the passengers.
  • All switches are located within easy reach with no or minimal lean, allowing the drivers to maintain an eyes-front view.
  • The standard power door - already the widest entry door in the industry - was made both wider and taller for easier, more visible entry and egress.
  • Optimum seat position and placement of pedals, switches and controls yield that "just-right" feel drivers appreciate.
  • Patented dynalastic engine mounts, a soft-ride suspension package and generous sound-absorbing material deliver a quiet and comfortable ride.
  • Standard variable-rate rear springs and heavy-duty front shock absorbers isolate passenger and driver from harsh roads. Rear air suspension available
  • The Leave No Student Behind™ system ensures the bus is completely empty at the end of the day.
  • The electrical system allows an exterior lamp "pre-trip" to be performed quickly and easily by one person.
  • With full-power hydraulic brakes and the parking brake interlock feature, the key must be in "on" position and the service brake applied to release the parking brake.
  • With the electric door interlock feature, the entry door will not open if the vehicle is in motion.
