MCI D-Series (second generation)

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The second generation of the MCI D-Series, called NextGen, is made up of the D45 CRT, the D45 CRT LE and the D4520 coaches from Motor Coach Industries, with a taller body based on the J-Series and cosmetic updates. It began with the D45 CRT LE, debuted in 2017 for commuter rapid transit, with a low-floor area in the middle of the coach that lets wheelchair users board faster than with a ramp and a second door for boarding and alighting at the same time, at the cost of most of the luggage space under the coach. Updates reached high-floor coach models from 2020, and between 2020 and 2022 the D4520 intercity coach, the D45 CRT with a traditional wheelchair lift and the D4020 prison transport coach replaced legacy models.
