In the summer of 1999, a decision was made to create a new conventional style
bus that would redefine the Type C category. A completely new design that would
offer better durability, reliability and safety with a driver visibility footprint
that no other Type C could match - a design that was truly integrated, not just a
body on a flat cowl chassis. With clear objectives in hand, a group of talented
stylists, engineers and product planners set out to define the future of school
bus transportation by creating an all-new innovative product, in an ultra-modern
275,000 square foot manufacturing facility.
After four years of market research, design, testing and fabrication, the Thomas
Saf-T-Liner C2™ is a reality. Every body line,
every curve, every element of the C2 was designed and engineered to improve durability,
reliability, safety and life cycle cost - exactly as it was supposed to do. Drivers,
administrators, technicians and parents will all appreciate what the C2 brings to
transportation. In fact, school buses will never be the same.

For urban and suburban routes, the Saf-T-Liner® HDX™ is the best bus in the
neighborhood. That’s because no other rear-engine school bus offers a higher level of
dependability, safety, and economy. The Saf-T-Liner® HDX™ delivers rear-engine
advantages in a medium-capacity, lower-cost coach. With seating for up to 78 students,
it’s ideal for average-size routes. The rear-engine design allows greater
maneuverability through neighborhood streets, and the windshield is larger than competitive
Type-D buses, for a better view of passengers in terms of safety.
