LED provides wide coverage
The 7-inch G2Max LED warning light with sideguard illumination provides 180 degrees of beam coverage so that a school bus is visible to approaching vehicles from all oncoming directions, helping to reduce illegal passing. The surface-mount design provides weather-tight seal to the bus body. Features include standard and strobe flash modes, low amp draw and corrosion-resistant aluminum housing.

Single-unit seat foam developed
UniFoam is a form-fitting composite foam used for school bus seats. It has a dense urethane core and fits directly over a seat frame, while its surface is composed of a vinyl-type material that adheres to the energy-absorbent foam envelope, creating a one-piece seat and eliminating the need for a vinyl slipcover. UniFoam is flame-resistant and FMVSS 302 and 222 compliant.

Retarder system saves wear
The EPM-ECM electro-magnetic retarder control system saves up to 50 percent of current consumption by using pulse width modulation, saving the batteries and alternator from wear. The system interfaces with ABS and ESP, employing “ramp up” and programmable time delay features after an ABS event has taken place. Functions like low-speed switch-off, brake cruise control, temperature control and function control lights are standard.
