Frequently Asked Questions
-
IC buses are produced by IC Bus, a wholly owned subsidiary of International Motors (formerly Navistar International). IC buses are produced at International’s Tulsa Bus Plant in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
IC Bus was originally founded in 1933 as Ward Body Works, a bus manufacturer that filed for bankruptcy and rebranded as the American Transportation Corporation (AmTran) in 1980. Navistar International acquired AmTran in 1991 and later changed the company name to International Truck and Bus in 2000. In 2002, Navistar again changed the company name to IC Corporation to separate its bus production from its International Trucks manufacturing division. And, in 2008, the company name was changed for a final time to IC Bus.

DriverFirst™ is IC Bus’s driver-centric approach to designing buses that appeal to drivers and maximize their comfort. Some of the ways this philosophy is evident in every IC Bus include accessible storage, a three-piece windshield with no center post to improve driver visibility, a tilt/telescoping steering wheel for customization and increased maneuverability, multiple driver seat options for ergonomic optimization, the widest bus doors in the industry for ease of entry and exit, uniform steps for optimal driver alignment, and interchangeable BTI seating.

IC Bus aims to build the safest, most reliable vehicles on the road. Electronic Stability Control and the Bendix® Wingman® Advanced™ Safety Package come standard on all IC buses, as well as illuminated school bus signs and stop arms that alert nearby vehicles and pedestrians of passengers crossing the street.
A high-visibility windshield and side mirrors combined with the IC Bus Full-View Camera Technology™ by Rosco® give drivers a full view around the bus so they can focus on driving while keeping kids safe, and the Leave No Student Behind® alarm system guarantees no students are left behind on the bus at the end of the route.
