Makes everyone comfortable. Even environmentalists.
Imagine a 30-45-passenger hybrid limo, with a long list of passenger amenities – and unbelievable fuel economy. That’s the HC Series hybrid electric bus from IC Bus. It’s stylish, elegant and comfortable, yet its combination of the rugged and reliable MaxxForce® DT diesel engine with hassle-free MaxxForce Advanced EGR and clean, efficient Eaton Electric Parallel Drive Hybrid System give it up to an amazing 32% improvement in fuel economy. Plus up to 35% reduction of NOx emissions and up to 85% reduction of particulates. If you’re looking for a bus that makes passengers, drivers and environmentalists happy, we’ve got you covered.
The HC Series hybrid is built for heavy-duty operation. It’s constructed on the IC Bus™ world-renowned chassis with an all-steel inner cage and heavy-duty frame and axles. Its ride is made comfortable with a soft ride parabolic front suspension and air ride rear suspension. The clean-running Eaton 44 kW electric motor is located between the MaxxForce® engine and the automated 6-speed transmission, and runs on electricity produced by regenerative braking – which also leads to reduced braking and engine wear.
