The '''[[IC Bus]] RE Series''' is a high floor rear engined transit-style type-D school bus.
The '''[[IC Bus]] RE Series''' was a high floor rear-engined type-D school bus. It was introduced in 1996 by [[American Transportation Corporation]] (AmTran), which had recently become a subsidiary of Navistar International. AmTran would eventually be renamed IC Bus. This bus has been discontinued as of the 2025 model year.<ref>https://news.navistar.com/news?item=122511</ref>


==Models==
==Design==
The RE Series was available in two models: '''RE200''' and '''RE300'''. The difference betwen the two is the size of the engine used. The RE300 always uses the larger engine. For 2010, the larger MaxxForce DT engine became the only option and thus only the RE300 is currently available.  
The RE Series was built on the International 3000 chassis. The '''RE200''' used the smaller displacement engine, and the '''RE300''' used the larger displacement engine. For 2010 to 2017, only the larger MaxxForce DT was available and those designations were phased out. Beginning in 2017, the RE Series was only available with the [[Cummins]] [[Cummins L9|L9]] engine.


==Specifications==
The RE featured the same headlights as those used on the second generation International S-Series. With the rebranding of AmTran in 2002, the IC logo was placed above the door and an embossed Navistar logo was placed between the headlights. In 2005, the roof was reshaped with a more round appearance. For 2009, the headlights received black bezels and the area between them received more detailing. The driver's seat was moved forward, outboard and upward for better visibility.

The IC Bus RE Series was a high floor rear-engined type-D school bus. It was introduced in 1996 by American Transportation Corporation (AmTran), which had recently become a subsidiary of Navistar International. AmTran would eventually be renamed IC Bus. This bus has been discontinued as of the 2025 model year.[1]

Design

The RE Series was built on the International 3000 chassis. The RE200 used the smaller displacement engine, and the RE300 used the larger displacement engine. For 2010 to 2017, only the larger MaxxForce DT was available and those designations were phased out. Beginning in 2017, the RE Series was only available with the Cummins L9 engine.

The RE featured the same headlights as those used on the second generation International S-Series. With the rebranding of AmTran in 2002, the IC logo was placed above the door and an embossed Navistar logo was placed between the headlights. In 2005, the roof was reshaped with a more round appearance. For 2009, the headlights received black bezels and the area between them received more detailing. The driver's seat was moved forward, outboard and upward for better visibility.
