The Vision Diesel bus features:
Adding to health protection for students and improved air quality in communities, the Vision 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, we don't cut corners when it comes to safety. We build our buses with safety as the number one priority- always.
We're always thinking ahead when it comes to safety. Check out these safety features- they really are remarkable!
This Vision Diesel bus is custom-tailored to deliver the best combination of:
Blue Bird works closely with Cummins, an industry-leading engine manufacturer, to develop unique and proprietary engine and drivetrain configurations specifically designed for our Blue Bird school buses.
The Vision Diesel’s after-treatment system allows the bus to meet the latest, near-zero nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate matter emissions levels. In fact, our diesel buses are over 90% cleaner than they were in 2006.
On-board diagnostic instruments monitor the emissions system’s performance.
Our Vision Diesel buses offer the industry’s largest DEF tank at 15 gallons, which better aligns with typical service intervals.
The Blue Bird Vision is equipped with 50,000 PSI C-channel steel frame rails, giving this bus major stability and durability for increased performance.
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.
The Blue Bird Vision Diesel bus is priced similarly to other manufacturers, and comes with Blue Bird's attention to quality and durability, increasing the lifespan of your bus.
Shared parts commonality with our Blue Bird All American Diesel models makes it less expensive to have a mixed fleet of bus types.
The new, self-contained SCR system from Cummins makes it easier to perform maintenance tasks on our Vision Diesel buses, and our DEF tanks are the largest in the industry at 15 gallons, which better aligns with typical service intervals.
The Vision Diesel bus delivers economical training and easy maintenance that saves time because of:
Diesel engines rarely need to be replaced, and diesel buses are known for high resale value. The Vision Diesel is no exception. The Vision Diesel’s best-in-class engines are covered by a standard 5-year, 100,000-mile warranty by Cummins.
All these factors combine to further reduce your Total Cost of Ownership.
