Throughout the month of October, Blue Bird has been celebrating Alternative Power Month with interactive webinars, Facebook live videos, and contests! This month has been dedicated to school buses powered by electric, propane, CNG, and gas.
Safety has always been Blue Bird’s number one priority when building school buses. Along the lines of safety is the impact the many vehicles on the road have on our environment. Blue Bird’s Alternative Fuel solutions are all proven to be safe, not just in operation, but also for the air that our children breathe every day while riding them.
To allow our customers and readers a glimpse of what has been shared, below you will find links to the informative videos created on the alternative fuel choices we offer through our Blue Bird buses.
