Thomas Built Buses has announced significant enhancements to its Type D product line with the introduction of the Saf-T-Liner HDX2. Known for its flat-front construction, unparalleled driver visibility, and industry-leading passenger capacity, the HDX2 sets a new standard in school transportation.   The HDX2 will begin manufacturing at TBB’s state-of-the-art Saf-T-Liner C2 Plant in Archdale, NC, which will allow them to leverage advanced technology and capabilities, resulting in operational refinements, efficiency gains, and enhanced product quality. Key enhancements include:   -New Exterior Look: Featuring taller and wider windows, new front and rear ends, and C2-style side exit and entrance doors. -Improved Construction: Utilizing Saf-T-Net construction with adhesive technologies and mechanical fasteners for increased safety. Robotic painting capabilities ensure a consistent and durable finish. -Production Rate Flexibility: Modern production lines and automated processes at the C2 plant enable faster delivery times. -Streamlined Service and Maintenance: Integration of common parts between the C2 and HDX lines simplifies service and reduces maintenance complexity.   “The Type D segment has gone without innovation for some time,” said Kevin Bangston, president and CEO of Thomas Built Buses. “At Thomas Built, we’re focused on what our customers need, and we’re excited about how this change will make the next iteration of our Type D buses even better. This investment in the HDX2 is a lever to continue to develop the product and symbolizes our dedication to providing cutting-edge solutions to our customers and continuing to push innovation in the school bus industry.” Learn more here --> https://bit.ly/tbbnewHDX2
