Champion Bus began manufacturing commercial vehicles in 1980 and has grown to support its customers with a 194,000 sq’ production facility ensuring their continued commitment to “Build Like a Champion.” With a production team focused on safety and quality they often exceed best practices while also leading the industry in design and innovation — and that’s why Empire Bus is a proud dealer of Champion Bus.

Champion was one of the first manufacturers to send a cutaway bus to undergo durability testing at the Federal Transit Authority’s Altoona, Pennsylvania, testing facility and continues to test all buses on a simulated Altoona test track at the manufacturing facility. Champion prides itself on using 1.5” x 1.5”, 16-gauge, tube galvanized steel cage on every bus, making them some of the safest and most robust buses in the industry.
