Hendrickson Truck Systems Group announced the introduction of its Airtek front air suspension as an option on IC Bus RE Series school and commercial buses, and that Airtek represents the first front air option on IC Bus-branded buses.
Combining state-of-the-art technology and a simple, functional design, Airtek delivers superior ride, stability and handling for IC Bus type D rear engine buses in axle ratings of 12,000 and 14,000 pounds, according to Hendrickson; the smooth, comfortable ride cushions passengers and drivers and reduces vibration to the bus from rough road conditions.
“Airtek delivers an outstanding ride for passengers and drivers, while providing superior performance and handling characteristics,” says Jacob Madden, segment manager for bus suspension products at Hendrickson, based in Woodridge, Ill.
