RENTON, Wash. — TRP has added seat foam to its series of aftermarket school bus parts.
TRP bus seat foam meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, and comes in standard and specialty bus seat sizes.
“TRP is setting itself apart by offering individually packaged bus seat covers and foam in packages of three to five, reducing — or in some cases eliminating — additional high freight costs customers typically experience,” said Dale Puhrmann, national sales manager of the bus segment at TRP.
TRP bus seat covers are made with special stitching, and constructed to ensure structural integrity, company officials said. The seat covers are available in a range of colors and sizes, have fire retardant and anti-graffiti coating options, and are packaged individually, which ensures the covers are clean and ready to install, according to the company.
Bus fleets in the U.S. and Canada will have access to the seat covers and seat foam through TRP’s dealer network, which includes 679 Kenworth and Peterbilt dealers.
“We’re excited to continue expanding our school bus aftermarket parts, which provide the value and reliability our customers expect from TRP,” Puhrmann said.
