Safety is Standard - not Optional.
The All American FE Diesel bus features:

Adding to health protection for students and improved air quality in communities, the All American FE Diesel includes proven selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology.
In the SCR system, nitrous oxide gas is injected with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), which reacts with the catalyst. That reaction breaks the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions down into harmless nitrogen and water vapor. These components are a pure and natural part of the air we breathe. The nitrogen and water vapor then pass harmlessly through the tailpipe.
At Blue Bird, safety is built-in.

On-board diagnostic instruments monitor the emissions system’s performance.
Our All American FE Diesel buses offer the industry’s largest DEF tank at 15 gallons, which better aligns with typical service intervals.
The Blue Bird All American FE is equipped with 50,000 PSI C-channel steel frame rails, giving this bus major stability and durability for increased performance.
Blue Bird understands that Budget is a key factor in bus choice.
Calculating the Total Cost of Ownership, or (TCO), allows you to select a bus with confidence, because you will know you are getting the best return on your investment.
TCO is determined based on...
- Initial purchase price, taking into account...
- Fuel costs over time
- Maintenance costs over time
- Projected bus lifespan
