Fuel and maintenance costs can add up quickly when managing a school bus or transportation fleet. Propane-powered Blue Bird buses can help reduce those ongoing operating expenses, with propane fuel potentially available at $1.20 per gallon or less compared to approximately $6 per gallon for diesel. Propane-powered engines also eliminate the need for diesel aftertreatment systems, helping avoid costly repairs associated with components like DPFs and DEF systems. Add in lower oil change costs and simplified routine maintenance, and propane can provide an opportunity to reduce the overall cost of operating your fleet while keeping your buses on the road.

Looking for ways to lower your transportation operating costs? Let’s talk about what propane could do for your fleet.
