Is a Freightliner chassis the only chassis choice for a new Thomas conventional school bus?
Yes. Due to the outstanding features of the Freightliner chassis, demand for a Thomas body mounted on other brands of conventional chassis has declined significantly. Continuing to produce low volume models increases manufacturing and support costs to Thomas and its dealer organization because there are numerous exclusive parts required to interface with various chassis brands. Continuous improvement of our processes will ensure the level of quality you expect and deserve from a Thomas Built bus. So that we can focus our efforts on delivering the finest integrated conventional bus on the market, we are only accepting orders for Freightliner/Thomas conventionals.
