MCI J-Series

Buses and Road Mass Transit Vehicles

The MCI J-Series is a model of motorcoach built by Motor Coach Industries and used mainly by tour and charter operators. It was introduced at the 2001 UMA Motorcoach Expo as a mid-range supplement to the D- and E-Series, keeping most of the Designworks body of the E-Series while removing many of its on-board technologies to offer a lower-cost coach. The J4500 of 2001 filled the gap between the D4500 and E4500, was facelifted in 2013 with new headlights and a more squared-off body, and gained a battery-electric J4500 CHARGE version announced in 2021. The shorter 35-foot J3500 followed in 2018. The coach is built in Crookston, Minnesota, and in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
