School busses are monocoquue

I knew Thomas Built had 40% market share but I thought Bluebird was stronger. It looks like buses are the one segment were International is still holding on. (They lost huge market share in the medium duty and heavy duty market when they made a bad bet on diesel tech back in 2010)

What brand is that?
The TBB Saf-T-Liner is a school bus body on a medium duty truck chassis with a ladder frame. They are fully drivable without the Bus Body in place.
