Editing IC Bus (section)

=== 2010s ===
For 2010, IC underwent an overhaul of its product line.  The FE-series (which entered production in 1990 as the Ward Senator, later becoming the AmTran Genesis) was discontinued, leaving the RE as its sole transit-style bus offering.  At the other end of the size spectrum, IC introduced two cutaway-cab buses derived from the [[International TerraStar]] truck.  Slotted below the HC, the AC was a commercial shuttle bus, while the AE marked the first cutaway-cab school bus produced by the company.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=511953|title=Navistar's IC Bus Launches All-New Small Shuttle Bus|date=28 September 2010|publisher=Navistar|access-date=3 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180104073418/http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=511953|archive-date=January 4, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=525644|title=Navistar's IC Bus Launches AE Series, School Bus Industry's First Integrated Type A School Bus.

In a branding change, from 2010 onward, Navistar badged the International 3200 (the cutaway-cab version of the DuraStar) as an IC, regardless of body manufacturer.  The IC "wing" logo was revised slightly in 2013 for 2014 production (with Navistar script added to the emblem and to the rear bumper).

In response to the failure of its [[Navistar International#Failed engine strategy|EGR emissions strategy]] to meet emissions standards,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/2016/33-10061.pdf |title=Order instituting cease-and-desist proceedings pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, making findings, and imposing a cease-and-desist order |date=31 March 2016 |publisher=Securities and Exchange Commission |access-date=3 January 2018}}</ref> Navistar began to phase out MaxxForce diesel engines in favor of Cummins-produced engines.  In the CE, the [[Cummins B series engine#ISB 6.7|Cummins ISB6.7]] was introduced as an option for 2014 production,<ref name="ReferenceA">{{cite web|url=https://www.icbus.com/bus/articles/ce-series-cummins|title=Power Partners|publisher=IC Bus|access-date=3 January 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite press release|url=http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=798897|title=Navistar's IC Bus Unveils First CE Series School Bus With Cummins ISB|date=22 October 2013|publisher=Navistar|access-date=3 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180104073416/http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=798897|archive-date=January 4, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> becoming the standard engine for 2015.  In 2017, the MaxxForce DT was replaced by a Cummins L9 diesel for the RE series, with a Cummins B6.7 introduced during 2018 for the CE.

In the mid-2010s, IC centralized production around school buses.  After 2014, the AE/AC, BE, and LC were discontinued.  For 2018, the HC was replaced by the TC (as the MV replaced the DuraStar); within the shuttle bus segment, IC reverted to a role of chassis provider, no longer producing completely-bodied vehicles.

Alongside the TC medium-duty cutaway cab, IC Bus currently produces the CE and RE-series as school buses/MFSABs (activity buses); both model lines are also offered in commercial applications (derived from the school bus bodies).

==== Alternative-fuel strategy ====
In the United States, Navistar was the sole diesel engine manufacturer to pursue the use of [[exhaust gas recirculation]] (EGR) to control diesel emissions rather than [[selective catalytic reduction]] (SCR).  The company claimed EGR posed an advantage in overall fluid economy (measuring combined diesel + [[urea]] consumption), although separate testing resulted in an advantage with SCR.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=585675|title=Navistar's IC Bus Beats Competition in Fluid Economy|date=16 June 2009|publisher=Navistar|access-date=3 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180104073220/http://ir.navistar.com/releasedetail.cfm?releaseid=585675|archive-date=January 4, 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite report|url=https://www.carolinathomas.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/15-Thomas_IC-Bus_Fuel-Economy-Comparison-15.pdf|title=Fuel Economy Comparison: Thomas Built bus with Cummins ISB, IC bus with MaxxForce 7|date=August 3–7, 2009|publisher=Thomas Built bus|access-date=3 January 2018}}</ref>

In 2015, IC debuted its first alternative-fuel vehicle, showing a propane-powered CE-Series with a PSI 8.8L V8 engine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://stnonline.com/index.php/news/latest-news/item/6215-ic-bus-introducing-propane-powered-ce-series-school-bus-for-2015-school-year|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307224059/http://stnonline.com/news/latest-news/item/6215-ic-bus-introducing-propane-powered-ce-series-school-bus-for-2015-school-year|archive-date=2016-03-07|title=IC Bus Introducing Propane CE Series School Bus by Fall 2015 |website=Stnonline.com |date= 1 September 2014 |author=Fisher, Michelle |access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref>  In 2016, the same engine was introduced in a gasoline-fueled configuration.<ref name="gas IC bus">{{cite web|title=IC Bus Unveils Gasoline-Powered Type C School Bus|url=http://www.schoolbusfleet.com/news/714551/ic-bus-unveils-gasoline-powered-type-c-school-bus|website=School Bus Fleet |date=25 July 2016 |author=McMahon, Thomas |access-date=11 September 2016}}</ref>

==== Electric bus ====
On November 7, 2017, IC Bus announced the chargE, an all-electric CE Series bus delivering up to {{convert|260|kW}} in power using a Volkswagen Truck & Bus Group-supplied common group electric drivetrain. It is the second electric vehicle to be delivered from the Navistar-Volkswagen alliance. The chargE started production in 2019<ref>{{cite press release |url=http://media.navistar.com/index.php?s=43&item=898 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180331112516/http://media.navistar.com/index.php?s=43&item=898 |archive-date=2018-03-31 |title=IC Bus unveils IC electric bus chargE(TM), its all-new electric school bus |date=7 November 2017 |publisher=Navistar |access-date=2019-08-16}}</ref>
