148 - Take Off (0-55) 

its originally meant to be kmh but u can switch it so that it can be both

Foreign markets

Could never go that speed tho 😂

It's an Actia instrument cluster. Made for Blue Bird.

@Allen Tokyo 1: i just pointed out why it said mph instead of kmh 2: you do realize that the us is one of like 3 countries that still use the imperial system? yall literally measured something with washing machines on the news one time LMAO

Keldemption it’s limited to 2850, depends on what your county limits

Gone. School buses are set to ECON mode, meaning they are literally limited to the power they can use. It’s stupid but if they did not do this instead of getting an average of 9 mpg they would get 1. Because usually after a stop it’s to the floor.

The reason I think is because the gas version has the 6.8 ford V10 that's my guess

@@a-dog8075 no most have diesel staight 6's

@@bowie2004 im saying that bluebird offers a 6.8 Gas V10 so they didn't bother to change the tack to on GAS and DIESELS they both go up to 5,000rmp. Thats got a 6.7 Cummins. They come in dodge rams too.

Christopher Pennington Propane’s are WAYYY better than the diesel Visions.

They are a lot quicker.

Propane way faster than diesel

it has an allison 2500

@@aimxdy8680 yeah I thought it was a different transmission, but it was some programming.

... makes your bus go faster

But, you would be very impressed by the BBV Propane buses. They go all the way to 4500 rpm

These transmissions were programmed to shift at an earlier schedule to save fuel. So yeah, they are in an economy mode set in the transmission parameters.

9sb19 actually Allison is pared for the engines performance the engine and transmission work hand in hand for rpm and tourqe management for this specific Cummins engine so the tramission even in eco mode doesn't cut the engines power you can even here the engine is cut back on throttle be Aus I normal Cummins bus operating range is 2500 rpm even with eco mode so.

Nasanieru Lastname The gauge cluster is sourced from elsewhere, not BlueBird.

Technology Spotlight Volvo

Comes in kph

in areas that use kilometers instead of miles they need the higher numbers. 70 mph is about 120 kilometers. Those extra numbers come in handy.

It's the programming in the transmission, has to go to the Allison dealer to shut off.

You can always tell when the engines shift prematurely

governed at economy mode

Garrett Moseley actually to educate you the Cummins 6.7l which is what's in these buses the engine it's self is governed at 2850 rpm But your county might have something called a speed activated governed not a rev limiter pal

No its a Caterpillar 3408

No, that’s the BBV Propane you’re thinking of.

@@nicktreadway8977 The Gas and propane have the 6.8 Triiton in it

They are.

i'm still looking

Jerry Sylvester: But they're more modern technology and safety wise
