MCI D-Series

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The MCI D-Series is a model of motorcoach built by Motor Coach Industries and used mainly by private companies running scheduled or commuter services, by government agencies moving prisoners, and increasingly by public transit agencies on express routes. It was introduced in February 1992 as the company's first 45-foot coach, after a December 1991 law change allowed the extra length, and a 40-foot version followed in January 1994. The coach replaced the B- and C-Series, whose two-stroke engines had become obsolete, and an inmate security transportation version was offered from about the same time. The D45 CRT LE of 2017 added a low-floor area for wheelchairs, and the last legacy D-Series coaches were built in 2022. It is sold alongside the J-Series.
