All American Forward Engine
The All American Forward Engine (FE) school bus extends Blue Bird's legacy of leadership by setting new industry standards for driver ergonomics and productivity, safety, serviceability, passenger comfort, and life-cycle value. From its 33% larger, bonded-for-strength windshield to its recessed LED rear lighting, its new features rest on our time-honored foundation of school-bus-specific design, superior materials, and cut-no-corners construction.
Thanks to its unequaled, better-than-ever maneuverability, coupled with a flexible array of body plans and seating configurations accommodating from 54-90 students, the All American FE is an ideal transportation solution, especially in densely populated areas and along highly-trafficked and/or tight and windy routes.
All American Rear Engine
The All American Rear Engine (RE) school bus extends Blue Bird's legacy of leadership by setting new industry standards for driver ergonomics and productivity, safety, serviceability, passenger comfort, and life-cycle value. From its 33% larger, bonded-for-strength windshield to its recessed LED rear lighting, its new features rest on our time-honored foundation of school-bus-specific design, superior materials, and cut-no-corners construction.
The engine's rear location provides exceptional serviceability, allows extra cooling and consequently higher power ratings, reduces noise to lessen interference with the driver, and allows an unencumbered stepwell for boarding ease and a clear view of children boarding and exiting. With capacities ranging from 66-90 students and attractive fuel choices of diesel or compressed natural gas, the All American RE is an ideal transportation solution, especially on routes requiring extra power.
Vision
The Blue Bird Vision forges ahead as a leader in school bus safety. The Vision’s purpose-built, angled hood offers the greatest loading and unloading zone field of vision in a conventional Type C school bus. Its Safety View™ Vision Panel further increases the driver’s view at the critical lower right front loading and unloading zone. The instrumentation includes a driver-information-display panel to provide a wealth of system information to both drivers and service technicians. A choice of diesel or propane engines offers school bus customers an attractive array of fuel options to meet changing market needs. And with capacities ranging from 48 - 77 students, the Blue Bird Vision offers the flexibility needed for today's transportation needs and the safety, quality, and durability to ensure that this school bus continues to meet those needs well into the life of the vehicle.
