Activity Buses - SAF-T-LINER® HDX

SAF-T-LINER® HDX

The Saf-T-Liner® HDX is a transit-style activity bus available with either diesel or CNG-fueled rear engines. It’s ideal for large groups and was designed for comfort on even the longest bus excursions. Heavy-duty shock absorbers take on any terrain, from mountain roads to narrow city streets, while the rear-engine design keeps the ride nice and quiet for the driver. Options like coach-style seating, pass-through under body storage, overhead book racks and air conditioning help accommodate up to 90 passengers. And of course, nothing is more important than Thomas Built’s high standards of safety, demonstrated by meeting and often exceeding FMVSS/CMVSS. All that, combined with one of the most extensive dealer networks in the industry, makes the HDX an excellent, long-term choice.
