School buses

Kansas City, MO (November 11, 2014) – Once again, pioneering bus manufacturer Blue Bird advances the industry with a fresh and innovative Type A bus. Underscoring its tag line, “a heritage of looking ahead,” the Micro Bird T-Series debuted at the National Association for Pupil Transportation Trade Show to an enthusiastic crowd of hundreds of school transportation professionals who praised the striking new design and numerous best-in-class features.

Described as a “game-changer,” the Micro Bird T-Series features a contemporary and ergonomic design which highlights the bus’ narrow body, designed to provide enhanced maneuverability and optimum efficiency. The new body’s aerodynamic features aid in increasing fuel economy by approximately 20 percent and offering the lowest cost of operation for a bus under 25 passengers— a capacity that accounts for approximately 40 percent of the Type A market. The bus is available lift-equipped in single and dual rear wheel with an impressive capacity of up to 25 passengers under 10,400 pounds.

Powered by an automotive leader, the dynamic Ford engines and six-speed automatic transmission are a powerful synergy with over seven million miles of testing. Available fuel options include gasoline and diesel.

The Micro Bird T-Series is available in the school bus, MPV, MFSAB and commercial configuration. Micro Bird is taking orders for the new line with full production scheduled for the spring of 2015.
