The International 3000 is a rear-engine Type D bus chassis manufactured by Navistar International, used for school bus and commercial bus applications. It was introduced in 1996 as the chassis for the then-new AmTran RE. The 3000 is used primarily for school buses and only by IC Bus (formerly AmTran). In 2000, a few were bodied by Les Enterprises Michel Corbeil, but they were only sold in Canada in order to prevent any competition with AmTran.

Party bus[]
From 2010 to 2015, the TerraStar chassis was used by Navistar subsidiary IC Bus to develop its smallest vehicle ever produced. Intended largely as a heavier-duty alternative to vehicles produced on Ford E-450 and GMC Savana chassis, IC Bus introduced cutaway-cab buses derived from the TerraStar. The company marketed one version, including the 3000 party bus.
In line with its truck counterpart, the 3000 party bus was discontinued at the end of 2015, following the withdrawal of the MaxxForce 7 engine.
