How do you fit 84 kids into a new school bus?
Easy... buy a bus from us.
With this new product line, school districts can buy standard seating now, then simply exchange seating modules to add or configure belts at a later date, as future school district requirements and state regulations dictate.
Safeguard XChange school bus seating provides a future-proof seating solution, so buyers no longer have to decide between belts and budget. Because SmartFrame is modular, the base seat can easily be XChanged to belted seating. In less than ten minutes, schools can add lap-shoulder belts or integrated child seats to any route at any time. If your school district or business currently buys seats with lap-shoulder belts, or you have been deliverating about when to move ahead, the design of this new product line completely changes the economics of adding belts to school buses.
"No matter what kind of school bus buyer you are, fleet versatility makes your job easier,” Ken Hedgecock from Thomas Bus said. “Whether you’re a school transportation director who expects a future local demand for belted seating, or you are a contractor anticipating the need to relocate buses, you need meaningful seating options that work now, as well as ten years from now.”

 Road Tested. Industry Approved.
SCR is the mainstream technology that 90% of all North American on-highway engine and vehicle manufacturers chose to meet 2010 emissions standards: Daimler Trucks, Cummins Inc., Detroit Diesel, GM, Isuzu, Volvo, Paccar, Hino and Mack. It's proven.
Since 1978, many different exhaust systems in Europe have incorporated SCR technology. It has emerged as the best EPA 2010 solution, based on environmental advantages and payback. SCR is proven to reach the EPA 2010 NOx requirement of 0.2g/bhp-hr. Add to that the reliable engine architecture you know and trust. SCR represents proven, road-tested technology with significant fuel economy advantages of 5-9% over In-cylinder EGR. Cummins testing confirmed it. The testing also concluded that In-cylinder EGR reduces engine life by 20-25%.
A 9% increase in fuel efficiency saves $295.00 per bus, per year.

| Since the first bus rolled off the Thomas assembly line in 1936, we've operated with one simple philosophy: build the kind of bus that we'd want our own children to ride in. That simple idea drives the way we do business – from the way we engineer our buses to be stronger and better than the standard, to our commitment to customer service and satisfaction with the nation's largest dealer network. Today, one in every three children in America who rides a bus to school or an activity rides a Thomas. |
