For the bus market, FCCC - Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation -  supplies the chassis used by Thomas Built Buses, another Freightliner LLC brand, as well as number of other customers in the commercial bus market for use as mass transit, tour and charter buses.

Freightliner buses are buses with a Freightliner C2 chassis. Once a Freightliner bus chassis has been built, it is sent to another company to do the body. The Freightliner bus chassis usually is built with either a MBE900, Cummins, or Caterpillar Engine (Diesel). The transmission is always an allison transmission. Allison transmission models that Freightliner buses handle include B210, B220, B300, 1000 PTS, 2200 PTS and 3000 PTS models. Freightliner buses are known for their sturdy frames. Suspensions are typically spring loaded but air suspension is available. The typical Freightliner bus also has fairly decent manueverability, from approximately 50-60 degree turning radius. 160 amp alternators come stock, but upwards of 270 amp alternators are available. For fuel, the most popular type is diesel, but alternate fuel engine such as liquid propane or cng (compressed natural gas) are available. Freightliner Bus warranties are fairly standard.
