Rear Engine Buses vs. Front Engine Buses

November 21, 2016by Colorado West Equipment65

School Bus Configurations

There are two typical school bus placements for the engine – “rear engine (RE)” or “front engine (FR).” When buying a school bus, the engine location is a primary factor to consider.

4 Benefits of Rear Engine Buses

1. Easy Entry for Passengers

A front engine has the center of the bus mostly occupied, but there is no block with a rear engine. This allows for an easier flow of traffic for passengers.

2. Weight Saving & Reduction in Power LossRear Engine Buses

When loaded, buses get traction thanks to being rear wheel drive. A transmission or drive shaft are necessary if the engine is at the front as a result of this. This will ensure that the back wheels and engine are connected. Power loss and an increase in weight are the result of having to put in a transmission shaft. A rear engine prevents this and is better overall for the bus.

3. Noise Reduction

The front engine can cause more noise due to the engine partially going into the bus cabin. The engine is fully separated by the cabin, therefore, reducing noise naturally when it is in the rear of the bus. Sound absorbing materials can also be used to further silence engine sounds.

4. Driver visibility

The nonexistence of a front engine allows for a lower front glass to aid in enhancing visibility and comfort for the driver.
