Enhanced Features

The Next Generation IC Bus® CE Series is engineered to prioritize safety, visibility, and driver comfort. These enhanced features are designed to make every journey safer and more efficient for both drivers and passengers. Explore the key upgrades that set this bus apart from the rest.

  • Driver A/C and HVAC System: The completely integrated driver HVAC system improves defrost performance by 50% over the prior model, allowing for quicker and more thorough clearing of the windshield. This ensures the driver maintains a clear view, even in challenging weather conditions.
  • Daytime Running Lights & Automatic Twilight Sensors: Standard daytime running lights with automatic twilight sensors enhance the visibility of the bus to other drivers and pedestrians, ensuring safety at all times.
  • Entrance Door Visibility: The entrance door, featuring single-panel bonded glass, is aligned with the driver’s seat to enhance side visibility, giving drivers a better view of the surroundings.
  • LED Lighting Options: Available LED enhanced downlit crossview mirrors illuminate the road when the park lights are on and the stop arm is extended, helping to light up pedestrians and objects in the front danger zone. Additionally, available LED headlights and marker lights offer higher lumen output and longer life compared to traditional halogen bulbs, ensuring that the bus is always visible.

Increased Visibility

The Next Generation CE Series features a rounded, three-piece windshield with no center post, providing drivers with a clear and expansive view. The standard shaded band helps reduce sun glare, and the sloped hood design offers over 11 inches of improved ground visibility in front of the bus compared to previous models.

Driver Command Center

Designed with input from drivers, the Next Generation CE Series features a completely redesigned instrument panel and seating area. This virtual command center puts everything within arm's reach, making the driver's job easier and safer.
