Notes: The Motor Coach Industries D-Series is a line of intercity motorcoaches that has become a workhorse of the motorcoach industry and is one of North America's best-selling coaches. Launched in 1992, the new 45-foot coach, named the 102-DL3, featured a larger engine compartment than previous coaches, which could accommodate the new Series 60 engine from Detroit Diesel. Components such as HVAC and fuel tank were moved further back to improve weight distribution. A 40-foot version, named the 102-D3, was introduced in 1994. In August 2000, MCI announced a new model name convention. The 102-D3 became the D4000 and the 102-DL3 became the D4500. The D-Series was redesigned in 2005. The Phase I design, later designated Contemporary or CT, features new headlights like those on the G-Series and flush-mounted passenger windows. The Phase II design is geared toward charter and tour operators. It features a curved front end, rounded off bumpers and fenders, flush-mounted passenger windows, and more interior amenities. The legacy design was designated Classic or CL. In order to accommodate EPA 2007 engines, MCI had to modify the rear of the D-Series. The opportunity was also taken to refine the styling of the coach as well as revise the side-by-side radiator and charge air cooler. At the end of the 2014 model-year, the D-Series adopted the ceiling and new parcel rack design from the J4500 as well as a simplified redesigned headlight design has three round LED clusters arranged in a gently curving row. In 2017, MCI introduced the first of the next-generation D-Series coaches geared to commuter market, called the D45 CRT LE. These coaches are directly based on the J4500 but marketed under the D-Series name and have little relation to previous D-Series coaches. Between 2019 and 2022, more D-Series models are being introduced including a new 40-foot, battery-electric, and a line haul/charter variation of the D45.
