Blue Bird Vison
With the introduction of the Blue
Bird VISION, Blue Bird Corporation has raised the grade in school bus safety. By
engineering and constructing a new purpose-built chassis that incorporates a
more angled hood design, Blue Bird has improved the driver sight lines in front
of the bus - offering the greatest loading and unloading zone field of vision
available in its class. The Blue Bird VISION is also the only bus in its
category built on a chassis specifically designed for a conventional school bus.
This ensures quality, reliability, passenger ride comfort and of course, safety.

information on the all new Blue Bird Vision, contact Ross Bus Sales.

When it
comes to safety, seeing is believing
he Vision
increases the drivers range of sight in front of the bus by up to 20
(compared to competitor buses). |
Safety
View Vision Panel
This outstanding
safety feature is a Blue Bird exclusive. Safety View is a laminated glass
panel with a wide-angled Fresnel lens positioned at the lower right front
loading and unloading zone. It dramatically increases the drivers direct
view in this critical safety area. |

Don't
sweat the tight spots
The Blue Bird Vision maneuvers
remarkably well for such a large bus. The advanced front axle design allows
for superior handling and steering thats unmatched in the industry. In fact,
the Blue Bird Vision is the only conventional school bus that can boast a
50-degree wheel cut. (The industry standard is 45.) |
