The transformation of the school bus has begun. Electric buses are already making the rounds and proving to be the game-changer everyone expected. And why wouldn’t they be? School bus routes are consistent, predictable, at regular scheduled hours within a relatively small radius and the buses are parked in a central depot overnight. In other words, they’re perfect candidates for electrification. And to grease the wheels, governments at the state, local and national level are providing generous support to districts who wish to electrify their fleet.

The IC Bus Electric CE Series is ready for the challenge. And by offering three different battery packages, it can be tailored to the range and budget requirements of the district. To help districts navigate the process of going electric, Navistar has formed the NEXT eMobility team, who will walk districts through the whole process, from charging and infrastructure considerations to finding available grants – ultimately creating a scalable total solution built around the specific needs of any district.
