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.
The HC Series hybrid provides the driver with a comfortable air seat, easily-readable 5-gauge cluster with visual and audible warning system, tilt steering, and cruise control. Moving up to the HC Series Gold Package provides a long list of interior and exterior upgrades, like stylish fiberglass skirts, track seating, and choice of engines. And as with all our buses, IC Bus has you covered throughout the entire ownership experience with our complete bus diagnostic checkup computer system, an expansive parts distribution system and an unmatched dealer network for 24/7 support.
Taking care of you every step of the way. That's the IC Bus difference.
