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

At Daimler Truck North America, we are driven by a steadfast commitment to lead the charge toward sustainable transportation solutions that address the challenges of tomorrow. Our latest innovation, the autonomous driving Freightliner eCascadia demonstrator, exemplifies this commitment. Join Joanna Buttler, Head of Global Autonomous Technology Group, and sumanoharan narayanan, Director of Autonomous Technology Group, as they walk us through this exciting blending of two future technologies. The eCascadia demonstrator represents a significant leap forward in the evolution of transportation technology. By integrating our flagship zero-emissions vehicle, the eCascadia, with advanced Level 4 autonomous driving software developed by Torc Robotics, we are paving the way for an electric and self-driving future. This integration not only enhances the efficiency and sustainability of freight transportation, but also underscores our commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. Joanna, Suman, and their respective teams have meticulously engineered the autonomous eCascadia demonstrator to push the boundaries of what is possible in autonomous driving technology. This project is not just about showcasing a vehicle; it's about demonstrating our capability to harness cutting-edge technology to solve real-world challenges. The autonomous eCascadia demonstrator's autonomous capabilities promise to revolutionize logistics and transportation, offering increased safety, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. As we continue to refine and test the autonomous eCascadia demonstrator, we invite you to stay tuned for more updates on our journey towards sustainable mobility. Follow along as we navigate the complexities of autonomous vehicle development and push toward a future where smart, electric, and autonomous transportation solutions are pivotal in shaping a cleaner, safer world.
