=== 2020s === At the end of 2021, IC Bus announced the introduction of a 35-foot-8-inch body length for the CE (exempting the length of the hood), offering a capacity of up to 83 passengers.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |date=2021-12-07 |title=IC Bus expands CE Series passenger capacity |url=https://news.navistar.com/news?item=122536 |access-date=2023-08-17 |website=Navistar |language=en}}</ref> The largest-capacity Type C school bus ever produced, the new option retained the previously-offered 276-inch wheelbase.<ref name=":2" /> The same year, IC announced it was retiring the long-running RE Series after 2024 production; coinciding with a low overall market demand for rear-engine Type D buses, IC cited upgrades in emissions standards for commercial vehicles.<ref name=":1" /> Produced with only incremental changes since its 1996 introduction, the [[International 3000]] chassis used by the model line is the final variant of the [[International S series (bus chassis)|International S-Series]] remaining in production. In July 2023, IC unveiled a third generation of the CE series for 2025 production. Using the updated [[International DuraStar#Second generation (2019–present)|International MV]] as a base chassis, the new CE added a taller, wider windshield to the body structure (rearward of the driver seat, much of the bodywork was carried over); the dashboard of the MV was integrated in its entirety. As of initial production, the third-generation CE is offered with diesel or electric powertrain options (the gasoline/LPG engine has not been made an option).<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |date=2023-07-14 |title=IC Bus Launches the Next Generation CE Series |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ic-bus-launches-the-next-generation-ce-series-301877334.html |access-date=2023-08-17 |website=Navistar International |language=en |via=PR Newswire}}</ref> At the end of 2024 production, IC retired the long-running RE Series; coinciding with low overall market demand for rear-engine school buses, IC also cited upgrades in emissions standards for commercial vehicles.<ref name=":1" /> Produced with only incremental changes since 1996, the RE Series used the [[International 3000]] chassis, the final variant of the [[International S series (bus chassis)|International S-Series]] remaining in production (45 years after its release).
