Thomas Built Buses has posted a video of Orleans, Vermont based Butler's Bus Service. Butler's, service the communites of Vermont for more that 35 years, operates and maintains a fleet of more than 125 school buses, of which more than 80 are Thomas Built Buses. Recently, Butler began upgrading their fleet to the 2010 Thomas Built Bus C2 with SCR techonology.

Like a lot of other school districts around the country, it had been awhile since the Quitman (Mississippi) School District had added any new buses to its 57-bus fleet.

Recent news articles discuss how the Orange County School District, located in Orlando, Florida, is increasing safety and efficiency while saving taxpayers money over the 10 year life cycle of the bus.

Thomas Built Buses commissioned an independent, third-party test by Bosch Automotive Proving Grounds in December 2011.

Kansas City Kansas Public School District installed 35 time-fill dispensers to fuel its new CNG buses overnight. In the morning, the buses are fueled and ready to go, saving staff time and personnel cost.

The facts became clear on our road to 2010, when Cummins conducted tests comparing our EGR-only solution with our Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system.

Faced with the current budget shortfalls and predictions of more to come, the Suwanee School District teamed with Matthews Buses, inc. to find the solution!

Congratulations to Suwanee District Schools for selecting a 1/3 Fleet replacement with a Daimler Municipal Finance plan. Spearheading the cost savings plan are Scott Pfender, Director of Transportation and Gary Colvin, Vehicle Maintenance Manager. The District saving s will come from a three fold plan:

• Pre-purchase savings avoiding future increases
• Maintenance, Warranty and labor Savings

• Save Money
