Thats because they are the same

Although in 2000 they were called International CEs or International ICs. Not IC CE

Between the AmTran and IC-Corp branding they were considered "International" bodies. The conventional model was called the International IC, IC standing for Integrated Conventional, not Integrated Coach like it is today.

The "International IC" was International's first conventional with a raised dash and a few other ergonomic improvements, one of which ended up being a flop, the famous linear door control.

If you have an International, you NEED customer service.

There are some 2000 Amtran 3800's with the International lable over the door, so I dont know what they would be considered.

Not exactly. Here is how I know it to be. I'm pretty sure this info is correct.

The International IC came out sometime in 2000 as a 2001 model. It included the restyled front end and the new style dash with raised instrument cluster. While it was possible to get a 3800 chassis with the newly named International body it was nothing more than an AmTran with a new roof logo, all else stayed the same as in the past. Here is an example:
http://www.schoolbusenthusiast.com/december_2004/amtran_3800_2000_Charleroi-AreaSD_jflatt.jpg

Over the course of the four or so years the original International IC/IC CE was on the market it went through a series of minor logo and name changes. The early models just used a basic 'INTERNATIONAL" logo on the roofs like this http://www.schoolbusenthusiast.com/internationalocrp_CE_december.jpg

For 2002 the Navistar Diamond logo was added to the existing logo as seen here:
http://www.schoolbusenthusiast.com/int_ic_2002_dt466_at2000_broward_soflfreight_feb_leftfront.JPG

For 2003 the International body became known as the IC body with the new logo that is still in use today like this one:
http://www.schoolbusenthusiast.com/fall_2005_part4/IC_CE_2003_northwestern_LSD_16_mikep.JPG

And for 2005 the all new IC CE was introduced: http://www.schoolbusenthusiast.com/december_2004/clarkstown_186_leftfront.jpg

Not gonna happen anytime soon for my brothers at 1762, there are plenty of suckers like Fairfax County out there buying their products to continue to support their jobs. However I will continue to support my union brothers and sisters at local 5287, they should be proud to be building the future products of the school bus industry.

International makes their own engines, they aren't allowed to use caterpillars or other engines so they use T444E, 3800, DT446. The 3800 engine was discontinued.

It is like this:

Ward=Amtran=IC (somehow it's still International but the IC is still there)

For the Thomas buses

(Thomas flat nosed buses are somehow related to Daimler Chrysler company / Freightliner) but Freightliner doesn't make the flat nosed ones.

They just make the conventional (the FS-655 buses, And the C2, and the Vision buses)

Thomas Built Buses makes their own flat nosed buses but uses the Freightliners work station to make them. Thomas makes the Front engines and the rear engines. That's why on the Thomas Front Engines and Rear Engines you never see Freightliner, you only see the label Thomas Built.

Then the Bluebirds are in the middle. They get to chose from Freightliner or International. Thomas and IC don't get a choice.

Yikes, maybe i should have kept it short.
AmTran was IC
Thomas Built is Thomas
BlueBird is BlueBird

International and F.L. are two competitors, they make trucks and buses.

Some engines are Cats, and Mercedes.

Okay that should save me.

When I am driving the school bus
one of the first rules that I make a point of
(especially to the younger kids)
is
<respect>.

So i messed up a little bit, no need to use vulgarity. We wouldn't tolerate from those who we transport, let's not make it acceptable on the forums.

-----------------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry that I posted what I thought to be correct information about bus makers and so forth.

Correct. IC Corp. is a subsidiary of International. Originally International just made chassis, but they bought out AmTran so that the body and chassis would be built by one company, and therefore, Integrated.

quote:

International makes their own engines, they aren't allowed to use caterpillars or other engines so they use T444E, 3800, DT446. The 3800 engine was discontinued.


It's not that they're not allowed to use anyone else's engines, it's a question of competing with themselves. They make their own engines, so why let their customers buy from someone else?

Also, the 3800 was a chassis model, not an engine. In the 90s, the conventional chassis were either 3700 or 3800, the Vista was 3600, the medium-duty cutaway cab was the 3400, and the flat-nose chassis were either 3000 or 3900. International's engines include the T444E, DT466, DT/DTA360, DT408, the newer DT530 and VT365, and the older 7.3, 6.9, 9.0. (I'm sure I missed a couple others)

quote:

Thomas is a subsidiary of Freightliner (the company was bought out). You're right about how Freightliner designed the conventionals, but only the FS-65 and the C2, the Vision is Blue Bird. Thomas uses some Freightliner parts for the flat noses, but they're still designed and built by Thomas.

quote:

Then the Bluebirds are in the middle. They get to chose from Freightliner or International. Thomas and IC don't get a choice.



Not quite. It's true that Blue Bird will still build on any chassis, but their choices are very limited. Freightliner no longer sells chassis to any competitor of Thomas (although they did when they first introduced the FS-65). International will still sell chassis, but they shoot the price way up because now that they make bodies, they're a supplier to their competitors.

If you buy a Blue Bird conventional and don't have deep pockets, you're buying a Vision. The Vision chassis was designed by Blue Bird, just like their All American flat noses (and the discontinued TC/2000). It's available with a Cummins or CAT engine, and International and Freightliner had nothing to do with the design.

thanks for the info bus724, and also, i did know (But in error I slipped up) the the vision was a product of bluebird, i made a mistake when typing it, after reading your statement- it clicked (Bluebird Vision) Duh!!

Thomas= ER, HDX, and the wonderful EF (the bus I drive) (and the conventionals)

I love Thomas Built Buses

Then IC= The RE buses (I used to drive the AmTran RE buses) and sometimes IC-FE buses

I did drive for Bluebirds= All American RE, and a conventional, as well as a front engine.

A lot of drivers LOVE the Bluebird Front Engine buses.

He's been on these forums for at least four years now. We have gone through this with him NUMEROUS times, it's not like this was his "first try". Many forum members have explained the Type C and D chassis differences to him, who builds on what chassis, who uses what engines and he keeps repeating the same false information over and over. The "3800" engine is a classic example!

And not that I enjoy defending IC however a few vulgar words aren't going to hurt anyone. I have a masters degree in speech/communications and I use the foul language.

80AmtranRE4- how about copying the info in this thread into a "bus info" folder? that way, when you have a question, you can refer to the info folder. as more info comes up, copy & add.

I do know more than I used to however thanks to a lot of you...

I know a secret about Thomas Built Buses that I bet none of you know (The Front Engines)

About the swearing, I was only giving IC a hard time

I bet you all want to know what I know? There is a way to shut off the power for the Thomas Buses, for the chasis and the body...but that's all I can tell you!

For some reason I don't believe you know a secret that someone on here doesn't already know. Just a weird guess.Everyoen is pretty knowledgable.

Does it have something to do with a pen holder that shocks you- Just kidding!
Something to make you smile though.

lol so you still remember that one
I will reveal what I know...If you want to keep your air door shut so no one can get into the bus, there is a fuse in the fuse box that you can pull out and it will close the door. I'm not sure what fuse it is though, I forgot which one, another driver showed me.

It's pretty neat. When you pull the fuse out, the door slams shut, and it can't be opened. There's also a way to shut off the power for the body of the bus and the chasis.

WOW! I never knew that! not

But anyway, the pre 1997 buses you can drive around with no electronic power and any electronic assistnce if you leave the choke all the way out and start up the bus, then remove the key. You can drive it that way, but its very unsafe.

Do the world a favor and bring back GMC and Ford conventional chassis......

Um, if you pull the fuse out to slam the door shut... how do you let yourself out?????? Jump out the emergency exit? Same question applies as to how you get back in the bus too. Kind of seems a bit silly to me.

I assume he means that he gets out of the bus, then opens the fuse panel on the outside, and removes the fuse. I'd imagine that you cannot release the air in order for that to work, you'd probably leave the door in the open position (which can drain the battery if not disconnected from the fuse box), and then pull the fuse for the door switch, which I'd guess makes the door think the switch was moved to "close".

You can also reach in the window and turn the switch to close.
