2022 Blue Bird propane school buses available for order

Blue Bird began production of its 2022 Blue Bird Vision propane school buses, which integrate Roush CleanTech’s Gen 5 propane autogas fuel system and Ford’s 7.3-liter V-8 engine. Innovations for the Gen 5 fuel system include stronger and lighter forged fuel rails and unique routing that keeps the engine-fuel distribution organized, according to Roush. Gen 5 is certified to California Air Resources Board’s optional low nitrogen oxide emissions standard of 0.05 grams per brake horsepower-hour. It also reduces nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gas emissions, and can operate on renewable propane, which further reduces emissions and carbon levels. The engine is designed to meet current and future emissions requirements. Orders are now being taken for Blue Bird’s Vision school buses with Gen 5 fuel systems.
