About ARBOC Specialty Vehicles

ARBOC Specialty Vehicles pioneered the low-floor cutaway bus, built around a patented angled, ramp-boarded entrance in place of a wheelchair lift, so every passenger, walking or rolling, boards through the same door with no lift cycle to run or maintain. ARBOC calls its range North America’s most comprehensive cutaway and medium-duty low-floor product line.

Built in Middlebury, Indiana as part of New Flyer of America’s NFI Group, ARBOC buses are a mainstay of paratransit, senior living, and transit agency fleets nationwide. TESCO stocks and services ARBOC low-floor buses.

Spirit of Mobility

Low-floor cutaway · Ford chassis

The Spirit of Mobility is the bus that made low-floor boarding mainstream: a single, non-discriminatory angled entrance with a fold-out ramp, kneeling suspension, and a flat interior floor. Passengers using mobility devices roll straight aboard: no lift, no separate door, no waiting. Built on the Ford cutaway chassis with wheelchair positions plus ambulatory seating.
