RENTON, Wash. — A new line of school bus seat covers from TRP gives school districts a durable replacement option when maintaining their bus fleets, according to the company.
“Fleet managers and bus operators can be sure they’re getting a safe and simple solution with TRP seat covers,” TRP Development Manager Jeff Hughes said. “The new line includes a hook-and-loop option with no staples, screws or rivets, so seat covers can be installed in minutes.”
Company officials said that the TRP seat covers are manufactured to meet national standards and all FMVSS safety requirements for school bus seating, and they fit all major applications, including IC Bus, Blue Bird and Thomas Built Buses.
TRP seat covers are available in 42- or 52-ounce standard material or a fire-block option and a wide range of colors. The choice of more than 80 covers, including backs, high backs and bottoms, enables matching the TRP seat cover with the bus age or application.
“When a school bus seat cover becomes damaged, regulations require it to be replaced,” said Dale Puhrmann, national sales manager for the bus segment. “TRP seat covers provide an easy and long-lasting solution for school districts needing to replace the seats in their bus fleets.”
