School buses

Reno, NEVADA (July 23, 2013) — Blue Bird Corporation is pleased to unveil a number of 2015 model year product improvements at the School Transportation News Expo in Reno, Nevada this week.

The enhancements include the industry’s largest propane autogas fuel tank, new clear-lens headlights, new LED clearance lights, a highly adjustable driver’s seat belt system, and enhanced cross-view mirrors. These improvements will go into production in October.

At 98 gallons, Blue Bird’s new optional propane autogas fuel tank provides districts with significantly greater travel range. Along with Blue Bird’s standard 67-gallon propane autogas fuel tank, the new tank is 20 times more puncture resistant than gasoline or diesel fuel tanks and has been tested to over three times its working pressure.

Adding to the enhancements for the 2015 Blue Bird Vision are new headlights with integrated turn signals. These headlights feature clear-lens technology, which aid driver visibility. The headlights are also easily adjustable — a feature that service technicians will appreciate.

Blue Bird’s upgraded clearance lights feature standard LED technology that offer districts longer life with reduced replacement cycles. This new light is standard on both the All American and Vision product line.

Drivers will ride in greater comfort thanks to the improved standard driver’s seat belt system on the All American and Vision. This new driver’s seat belt provides over 11 inches of vertical adjustment, ensuring that drivers of all sizes can custom align the belt to their specific needs and improve their level of comfort.

Rounding out the new features is the Vision cross-view mirror enhancement. Unique to Blue Bird, the new cross-view mirror bracket allows drivers to view the front part of the bus as well as the warning lights from the driver’s seat. This feature allows drivers to ensure optimal safety.
