LOVE THE SOUND BRAKES AND SOUND OF THE SHIFTING
All with the traditional bluebird rattles.
Best video on CZcams. I drive a 2022 Vision gasoline on Rigs of Rods. Also, Blue Bird is the only manufacturer to use a Roush-tuned engine for their newer gasoline-powered buses. NASCAR genes in a school bus. 🖤
Beautiful sound. Thanks for the quality video! :)
These much heavier buses must have steep gearing for the V10s to move them. I mean they can move Ford E series, Super Dutys and Excursions.
Nice video, you should take a CE gas/propane on a spin when you get the chance.
I haven't heard a gas powered bus in a long time. When I was a kid our district had a bunch of gas powered Carpenters and Thomases from the late '70's and early '80's. When I was a teenager they replaced them with your typical diesel Blue Birds.
i love hearing that turbo wind out its so awersome
there is no turbo, its an N/A gasoline or CNG v10
@@blockingpack2825 it almost sounds like a procharger
@@lorr_justinn it's the transmission and driveline
when your school bus sounds like a super car
@ICFE300 It would be super awesome if you did a 0-60 video on this Vision.
I mean it wouldn't be safe because these things are top heavy and can flip so quick if he had to slow down or hit someone.
@@kellyoubrejr544 buses don’t flip as easily as they used to though.
When your accelerate it screams man screams very loud. Music to my ears
I like this bus powered by Gasoline Acceleration
Thank you!! this seems weird to me. it revs so high
You should do another driving video like this
we just got 15 new CE cummins powered, air brakes, handy buses and we have 15 more IC RE L9 Cummins coming too.
That thing screams.
zachary lampman I rode one for a couple years, oh trust me, they really scream when you step on the gas! The sound is beautiful
Yea
That screaming is only around 2k rpms. When they really open the tap...oh boy
They sure do 😂
Yup but always way louder on the inside lol I ride a 2018 vision in the summer and the thing sounds amazing
For some reason, it's hard to hear, but I believe the modified Ford Triton V10 engine in the propane Blue Bird visions operate on high compression to ignite the fuel at medium RPMs which give it the sound of the engine suffering from pre-ignition or spark knocking at idle. Medium RPMs make the ignition of each cylinder only slightly easier to hear from the outside and the compression ignition system gives it it's rattle like sound compared to the regular Ford Triton V10 gasoline engine that operates by a spark/compression ignition system.
This is a propane vision czcams.com/video/nu_BrYv27A0/video.html
0:38 omg sounds like a dodge charger turbo lol
You are totally right
Bryan supercharger lol
i love that sound tbh
Sounds like a 707hp Demon engine on steroids!
I know right!
My school district has lots of bluebird visions
HEY ICFE300, we just got 2 NEW Handicapped CEs today, and 3 more are coming.
Excellent.
I’ve got a few videos of a 2017 IC-ce From my senior year in high school if you want a video link to one of the videos that I did on the bus
Telluride It also has a wheelchair lift
Where was this filmed???? Would love to ride a school bus again... Even with a lift...
i love the sound of the gas in bus. here in new Rochelle we only have have big diesel buses instead.
Any reason your rear view mirror is pointing up
Horrrayyyy new video
Fun fact: Blue Bird Vision Propane and Gasoline buses are technically Fords.
Can you do another driving video on a vision
@ICFE300 So what's the verdict on this machine?
I love this video
Them Propane Greenbirds have these too, right? Ford V10?
Vision Power!
Oh Nice Sounds Like I Been in the Summer School!
Can you do another video like this
wow that is amazing
Bluebird was my splits route bus
Those windows better not be rattling.
Telluride The new windows Blue Bird has been using are much better.
Can you do another bus video
Nice Hard Acceleration!
Hopefully my district buys one
I know this is old, but all we are getting now are just bluebird gas visions
Do you ever rev it up to 4,000 rpm? My old bus driver always did
Mines did to I gets so very loud
He was going fast
That thing sounds like a Ferrari 246 Dino GT when you accelerate this thing
Dodge Viper engine on a School Bus awesome!
Scott Vaden not quite, the triton V10 is found on some Ford pickup and medium duty trucks. New Flyer has some transit buses in Socal have the V10 engine power a hybrid system
Scott Vaden the viper has an 8.0 and 8.4. this bus has the 6.8 from ford trucks and now the new UHaul fords use these too
No! Ford 6.8l triton v10
If yall been to Disneys Animal Kingdom, their safari trucks sport Ford V10s along its super duty dash layout. It sounded familiar.
Because the Audi R8 has a v10
Wow sounds like a Audi R8 with turbos that is in a Bluebird Vision
This bus has a 6.8l triton v10
sounds like it has a supercharger
A big yellow school bus with an engine that sounds like a muscle car.
It sounds like your flooring it just to get moving. I personally am a diesel loyalists so I’m just not sure about gas in a large vehicle application yet. Have you seen what kind of mileage difference there is to them? I do believe they are cheaper to run in the long run. Just seems like they will receive more engine wear and tear. Any insight to the gas busses would be appreciated! Love your videos!
It sure sounds like it, but the Ford transmission naturally rev's up higher than the Allison PTS series in the diesel Visions.
Propane is better than gas in my opinion
with all the emissions equipment on new diesels those gas engines will easily outlast any of them
But back in the day many of the older buses were "gassers" and they seem to do fine. Way back then, you had Ford, GM, International, and Dodge but Dodge stepped out of that arena for some reason so it became just those 3 making the chassis for the bus coach manufacturers. There were several coach manufacturers at the school bus industry peak.
International had the 345, 392, 404, and 446 gas V8 engines. I believe the 345, 392 were really common in their school buses. GM had used a 366, 454, and the 8.1L Vortec gas V8 engine. The 366 was the most common until it got replaced. Ford had the 370 and 429 gas V8 engines. The 370 was the most common.
Depending on the year each gasser in each of the manufactures engines could be paired with either the Allison AT-540 or AT-545, IIRC. The transmission is known for its particular whine, sirens, and screeches in the first 3 gears. The basic Allison transmission whine was there in all 3 but each of the companies V8 engines had a distinctive sound. It's how you're able to tell a Ford, GM, and International gas V8 from each other.
There were also manual options but the manual transmissions didn't make the unique soundtrack the automatic transmissions did.
Do a route tommrow and post it to youtube with the 2018 bluebird gasoline vision
I don't drive routes.
ICFE300 But still have the P and S endorsements right? I think you’re a sub or FT driver
Yes.
@Dustin Lanphear. Regulation as ordered by the Michigan state police department. All buses in Michigan must have the sticker by the window for inspection protocol.
I have a bus 67 is a 2016 Bluebird vision it makes the same noise the year model is 2018 it was built on decmber 2016 12/16
Nice bus! Fuel economy?
650 on a tank with a 100-gallon tank, bare minimum.
Why does it sound like a vision propane?
Because the Gasoline and Propane visions use the same engine.
That’s got to be a ford motor underneath that hood
How many of them do you have in total?
They have 3 now.
Almost sounds like a Lamborghini 😂
More like a Dodge Viper imo
You are absolutely wrong
I ride on a bluebird bus at school
Songs like the game bus game is sounds like the squeaky brake
im pretty sure thats propane, not gasoline
Our bluebirds cant even go above 3000rpm lol
Blue Bird lets you set the max rpm. Your district probably has it set low. My district has it their visions (propane powered) set as high as they go because it is hilly where I live. When their on a straight away like an interstate, our drivers fly in them. Also, for some reason, Blue Bird sends them from the factory set really low.
That is a blue bird vision it does that
0:20 4:00
It is sound like a car
That’s because it’s powered by a automobile company. (Ford)
E450's 6.8l v10
put it to the floor
It was several times.
@@ICFE300 i wanna hear the turbo wind out more but i did really enjoy watching this video its one of the best ones yet thank you for posting? i love the sound of propane buses
Sounds like a ford truck
