At Thomas Built Buses, we build buses we’d want our own children to ride. It’s why we take safety seriously and remain on the cutting edge of school bus safety technology. Here are a few safety features that make our buses more dependable: Safety Redefined
• OnGuardACTIVE A radar-based collision mitigation system, WABCO OnGuardACTIVE™ is available as a factory-installed option for Saf-T-Liner® C2 diesel school buses equipped with air disc brakes. The technology uses a forward-looking long-range radar to detect objects and individuals up to 650 feet in front of the bus. • Intellipark Parking Brake The electric parking brake system helps prevent rollaway and runaway crashes by automatically setting the park- ing brake if the driver forgets to set it before exiting the vehicle. After the brake has been set, the driver must take intentional steps to release the brake such as pressing the service brake pedal, turning the key to “on” and/or closing the wheelchair lift door (when equipped). • Auto-Reversing Doors The first of its kind in the industry, our auto-reversing door feature is available in all Saf-T-Liner C2 products. The technology allows the front entry doors of our buses to reopen automatically if they sense an object or obstruc- tion in the doorway. When activated, our system will sound an alarm and the doors will automatically reopen if something or someone is blocking the doorway.
