THE CUMMINS ENGINE
Blue Bird works closely with industry-leading engine manufacturer
Cummins to develop unique and proprietary engine and driveline
configurations specifically designed for our Blue Bird school buses.
This means you receive a bus that is custom tailored to deliver the
best combination of horsepower, torque, reliability, durability and fuel
economy while meeting emission standards.
- 100% EPA and CARB compliant engines reduce greenhouse gases
(GHG)
- Industry-leading fuel economy of the 2013 ISB6.7 delivers up to
2% higher MPG than 2010 models
- Compliant with 2014 EPA and NHTSA regulations for fuel economy
and greenhouse gas reduction (achieved one year ahead of schedule)
- Aftertreatment System utilizing a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology virtually eliminates
NOx.
- On-Board Diagnostics added in 2013 continuously monitors the
performance of the emission system, which alerts the drivers and
service technicians to notable events.
2015
FORD & ROUSH CLEANTECH PROPANE ENGINE
Blue Bird’s exclusive relationships with Ford and ROUSH
CleanTech delivers the best propane autogas school buses in
the industry. Propane autogas is the fastest growing school bus
segment and is saving districts money with reduced operating
costs. Blue Bird is the clear leader with more than 3 1/2 times
the number of alternative fuel school buses on the road than
all other makes combined.
- Powerful Ford three-valve 6.8L V10 engine delivers 362
horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque and is 100% EPA and
CARB ompliant.
- The Ford engine and transmission are utilized in more than
1 million vehicles and have proven to be reliable and durable
workhorses.
- Propane autogas is sourced in North America, further
reducing dependence on foreign oil
- Engines are up to 50% quieter than diesel engines
- Offers excellent cold-weather start performance with no
pre-heating of the engine or fuel additives required.

1-DAY SERVICE TRAINING ON
BLUE BIRD PRODUCTS AND COMPONENTS
Girardin Ontario held another Service Training session on March 19 and 20, 2014. The invitation to attend
this training class was extended to all our Ontario customers and we had 40 participants attend. This one day
training session was held on 2 different days to accommodate the scheduling of technician from our various
customers. The training covered all aspects of the new 2015 Blue Bird Vision including the new Propane
Fueled Bus.
The Service Training was divided in 3 different components. The first component, facilitated by Mr. Joe Coggins
(Girardin Ontario Inc.), covered all components and advantages of the 2015 Blue Bird Vision as well as the new
Propane Vision. Technicians also had an opportunity to view a 2015 Blue Bird Vision and identify the changes
and advantages of that product. The second component, co-facilitated by Mr. Bill Lupkoski (Cummins Eastern
Canada) and Mr. Joe Coggins, covered all aspects of the Cummins engine and 2010, 2014 EPA emissions. The
last component, facilitated by Mr. Jean-François Viau (Ricon Corporation), covered all aspects of maintenance
and repair instructions for Ricon products. Technicians at the end of this 3rd session received their certification
to work on Ricon lifts.
This is another success story for the Girardin Ontario Team and we want to thank each participant for their time
and cooperation during this Service Training.
Other Service Training Sessions coming soon, be on watch for the next invitation.
