Each bus is built with high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel, forming a one-piece tubular roof bow 66% stronger than traditional steel. The robust roll cage structure enhances passenger protection with full-length, interlocking cage stringers and floor beams. The result? A dependable G90 galvanized steel frame designed to resist corrosion.

At Collins, we equip our buses with a high-efficiency A/C system ranging from 30K to 70K BTUs, seamlessly flush-mounted in the rear wall for a clean, polished interior. The system is designed to maintain optimal cabin temperatures in any weather and also includes in-wall access for easy maintenance and a standard skirt-mounted condenser.

Building dependable buses for school, commercial, and multi-purpose use starts with one priority—passenger safety. Our buses are designed to give drivers maximum visibility, ensuring safe entry and exit for everyone on board. The Ford Transit model takes it further, offering an impressive 810 square inches of visibility for enhanced awareness and control.

Beyond the built-in safety features of every Collins bus, we also prioritize passenger comfort. Our high-visibility passenger windows are designed with exclusive water-shedding technology to keep the elements out, while AS3 tempered, 26% tinted glass enhances safety and temperature control. Plus, the oversized windows offer added flexibility for seat placement, ensuring a more comfortable and adaptable ride.

Maximize your fleet’s efficiency with an exclusive storage and battery compartment offering up to 7.2 cubic feet of space, depending on the model. Built to hold 120 to 200 pounds of equipment, it allows storing batteries, jumper cables, and other essential safety gear. Rigorously tested through the Altoona simulated 7-year, 200,000-mile durability test, this compartment is designed for long-lasting performance and reliability.

Featuring a simplified electrical system with plug-and-play fuses and relays, your Collins bus fleet provides a clean, efficient control panel that allows users to customize their ride. The easy-to-access integrated power switching and circuit protection enable seamless expansion, allowing you to easily add secondary features like cameras, GPS devices, and more as your needs grow.

Collins prioritizes passenger safety and comfort with various seating options. Choose from multiple configurations and color combinations, including bench seating, child restraints, 3-point belt systems, and Freedman activity seats, to suit your school and activity bus fleets.
