Blue Bird announced an electric Vision in late 2017, built it in limited special-order numbers in 2018, and put it into mass production in 2019.
In 2009 the Vision became the first factory-produced school bus with a propane-fueled powertrain; earlier propane school buses were aftermarket conversions.
In 1950 Gillig introduced the Transit Coach Model 590, whose 590 cubic-inch Hall-Scott engine was the largest-displacement gasoline engine ever fitted in a school bus.
The AmTran RE, introduced for the 1997 model year, was the first rear-engine bus built by AmTran or Ward in over 20 years.
The Saf-T-Liner EFX, redesigned in fall 2011 and built from spring 2012, was the most extensive redesign of the Thomas EF since 1991.
The 30-passenger BE200, IC's first small school bus, was designed for operators carrying special-needs passengers.
After the Vision arrived, the Conventional stayed on Navistar chassis only, was renamed SBCV for 2005, and was discontinued after the 2008 model year.
Girardin Minibus introduced the G5 in 2005 to replace the MB-IV, and it became a Blue Bird in 2010.
