ROUSH CleanTech - Propane school bus overview
Smart charging is a thing. Why are you not talking about V2G secondary revenue for busses when they are not being used for their primary purpose.
will the 2027 or 2028 model years have something that says 100th anniversary
Deja vu
I didn't know school buses had airbags
As a mechanic for 3 years. 10 of our 100 buses are bluebirds and half of our breakdowns are bluebirds. Worst built buses I’ve ever seen
I am OBSESSED with school busses
I never knew school busses these days have airbags
I'm a bus driver, I drive a 2016 blue bird all American rear engine with the Cummins paired with a Alison, very pleased with it.
I live in South Korea. Oil doesn't come out in South Korea. That's why we use different types of fuels. In South Korea, we have LNG, CNG, LPG, hydrogen, electric buses. I've been using LNG buses since 1998. Taxi in South Korea are LPG and electric. LPG taxis have been in service since 1988. You don't have to worry about durability and safety.
When will the vision be remodeled - it's currently one of the ugliest buses on the road and compared to the new IC 3rd Gen.
They made a new grill
@@JaquvaisDenmark oh wow a new grill, riveting..
@@togurilee1548 whatever its something
When will Blue Bird Vision actually look good, by far one the ugliest on the road and now with the new IC on the road.... needs a massive update.

I would not use a propane powered bluebird in that crash test, because it risks fire
Better start replacing your aging mechanics. Good luck finding technicians to work on ev busses at minimum wage.
Worked at Blue Bird distributor/school bus operator for a decade in the '80s. Picked up All Americans, conventional, short buses from the plant in Fort Valley. Drove a route, repaired mechanical and body. There were very few decent bus mechanics even then. All American power trains were very difficult to work on! Ford 534CI barely fit in engine compartment. Cummins 3208 ditto. I'm retired and own two EVs. They're simple to understand and repair. They self diagnose internal problems. Have thousands fewer parts to go bad. Smoother, faster from a dead stop. Quiet and more road hugging.
STOP WASTING WATER
Welcome to the education system, kids! Hopefully nation wide, seatbelts are an enforced rule with severe penalties if they ain't followed. If thsts already s thing, im rooting for it!
Hopefully it not 20k per seat belt like the city approved 21k per trash cans
😨😨
....Did bus drivers not have steering wheel airbags till now?
which is rich considering THEY KEEP BREAKING DOWN
I always wondered why busses never had seat belts when I went to school. Why did it take until 2024 to invent this? And 2025 for a fuckin airbag?
This is because of future safety and bluebird corporation partnered with IMMI for safety as a result IMMI had a steering wheel airbag with a bluebird emblem on it basically will be used on t3fes t3fes and visions as standard equipment in 2025
Blue Bird is winning the "School Bus Wars!"
Blue Bird keeps getting better!
Dime como negociamos nuevo😅😅😅🎉🎉🎉
Buenos días quiero un Blu Bir para Colombia como lo compro🎉🎉🎉
I subscribed to you
Wow 3-point seatbelts welcome to 1959
No one ever wears seatbelts on buses if they are present. Neither adults, nor kids.
Great! But there needs to be some kind of sensor on each one so the driver knows if they are not being worn. The district I drive for has some buses that have seat belts- nobody uses them. The kids trip over them and hit each other with them. There is absolutely no way for the driver to know if they are actually being used or not. But.. whatever the sensor is or whatever would have to actually prevent the bus from being moved if the seatbelts were not buckled. The company I drive for does not stand behind the drivers. The drivers are not allowed to do anything at all other than drive the bus. I moved a student's seat this year and I (the bus driver) got in trouble for this. I don't know how this would work though, because the kids could just buckle them and not actually wear them or something.. I dunno.
This is helpful to my school district, Thank u.
I really hope that this safety feature helps my 2018-2024 Bluebird buses that's in my school district especially with older buses from 2002 2008 - 2015 models too and also thank u y'all!
It won’t do anything for buses you already have. Only new ones from here on out if your state or district allows it.
thats impossible at add it to existing buses..
@@Priuscarisamazinf okay, uh, that's literally what they did though/
@@Priuscarisamazinf not really you just have to install the new seats with those belts. they seem to not have pretensioners meaning no wires to or for anything
yall really violated international
lol
lol
4 mins ago, crazy!!!!
Bluebird, future green light for driver digital 3 point safety harness for love of life
I drive a 2024 Bluebird propane. I do really like this bus a lot, but I wish you would spend more time in quality control first. There have been a lot of things for warranty. Seatbelts would be nice to keep the children in their seats, BUT.... In case of an accident or fire with all of my littles panicking, how in the world am I gonna get them all out of their seatbelts in split seconds?! I am just one person. And what if I'm unconscious.....
Adults don't need to do everything for kids. The bigger kids can be taught how to help the younger ones. I always liked fire drill training when I was a kid, make the bus drill part of fire drill training day
This is my biggest concern and in reality when you have a boss full of younger kids even the older of the young kids sometimes panic and be too busy worrying about getting themselves off I have students that will literally get off the bus at their stop and leave their siblings on the bus sleeping without a thought or care in the world so I can’t even imagine if a fire breaks out what would happen
Lagging well behind modern standards ...... the iPhone of busses!!!
It all comes with a huge price tag. When your competitor offers the same size bus without seatbelts for $15,000 less, guess who’s going to be rewarded the bid?
I like the exit window handle design on ur buses looks super sleek and modern
🎉🎉🎉🎉
I like your buses. I remember when travel with my family and my friends in Blue Bird buses. 🤩👏🏼🚍
