We at Blue Bird Corporation wish to thank you for your investment of trust
in Blue Bird quality, and congratulate you on being a Driver of one of the
most innovative vehicles in pupil transportation; the Blue Bird Vision
.
Blue Bird Strength; Blue Bird Innovation
The
Blue Bird Vision
is the first C-Type (“conventional”) school bus built upon a chas-
sis designed specifically for pupil transporation, rather than mounted upon a multi-
purpose truck chassis. The
Vision’s
chassis is purpose-built at Blue Bird’s Fort Valley,
Georgia plant, as are Blue Bird’s
All AmericAn
transit-type buses and the
Vision
’s C-
Type “little brother,” the
ec-72
.
The
Blue Bird Vision,
with its and
All AmericAn Fe
and
re
siblings, comprise a com-
plete line of built-from-the-ground-up buses, providing an ideal fit for any school
route need.
Unlike most “conventional” type school buses, the
Vision
is anything but “ordi-
nary.” The
Vision
is the result of Blue Bird’s steadily innovative engineering and over
85 years of school bus experience, applied to the C-Type category.
What kind of innovation? For 2008, the
Vision
receives a handsome new engine
hood mounted to a rugged torsion pivot mount. Opening and closing the hood is
a light-as-a-feather breeze. Yet this new engine hood sacrifices none of the
Vision
’s
legendary field-of-view.
The Driver’s area has received multiple improvements for 2011 you are sure to
enjoy. An all new dash houses the new instrument cluster and also provides a built-in
glove box. The instrument cluster includes a major new features: the Message Display
Center with on-board diagnostics. This is a large LCD panel which provides you and
your service technician access to a wide array of system information. The infinitely-
adjustable steering column is also new, providing quick and easy adjustment.
Of course, there are myriad other technical technical refinements “under the
hood” with which the Driver may never interact directly; but which nonetheless con-
tribute to an overall improved operating and ownership experience.
Built to purpose. Built to last. Built to bring to your operation a new level of value,
efficiency, and rugged reliability.
Thank You
…and Congratulations!
