 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. |
