Frontrunner Bus Group, established in 1988 and based in Billerica, Massachusetts, specializes in manufacturing innovative low-floor minibuses designed for enhanced accessibility, efficiency, and durability. Their flagship model, the Frontrunner®, is built on the RAM ProMaster 3500 chassis and features a purpose-built flat floor, facilitating easy entry and exit for passengers. The vehicle’s advanced composite body and custom steel chassis make it nearly 2,000 pounds lighter yet twice as strong as conventional buses in its class, contributing to superior fuel efficiency and performance.
The Frontrunner® has achieved significant milestones, including an unprecedented score of 91% in the Altoona 5-year/150,000-mile durability test, with only one hour of unscheduled maintenance, demonstrating its reliability and durability.
Frontrunner’s minibuses serve various markets, including transit agencies, senior living transportation, and mobile offices. The company emphasizes flexibility, offering configurations that can accommodate multiple wheelchairs or be adapted to accept Stryker stretchers for non-emergency medical transport.
By focusing on lightweight, strong, and durable designs, Frontrunner Bus Group continues to set new standards in the cutaway bus industry, providing greener alternatives to traditional high-floor cutaway buses and enhancing passenger comfort and safety.
