Start with safety
For every bus we make, we make safety #1. From what goes into it to how well you see out of it, we know our reputation's riding on it. When it comes to safety, we have one goal-to build the safest, most reliable vehicles on the road. We go to great lengths to identify, develop, and integrate the latest technology and design elements into our vehicles because our reputations, and in many cases our families, are riding on them.
Electronic stability
If technology exists to keep your driver and passengers safer, we'll find a way to integrate it into our vehicles. Standard on all IC Buses, electronic stability control helps maintain traction on slick or icy roads, delivering more confidence during maneuvers, climbs, and descents.
Put the DriverFirst
Get there on time, every time, with safety, comfort, and ergonomic enhancements that keep committed drivers behind the wheel.
Research resulting in comfort.
When designing buses, our goal is to create a vehicle that appeals to drivers. As such, our team focuses heavily on how drivers use their buses, day-to-day. We create bus designs to support their activities and tasks. And during the design process, we take actual driver measurements to help maximize driver comfort and minimize fatigue. We also modify our bus designs repeatedly to ensure the end product is ergonomically friendly.
