2026 Blue Bird All American Diesel RE
Adding to health protection for students and improved air quality in communities, the All American FE/RE Diesel includes proven selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology.
In the SCR system, nitrous oxide gas is injected with diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), which reacts with the catalyst. That reaction breaks the nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions down into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
These components are a pure and natural part of the air we breathe. The nitrogen and water vapor then pass harmlessly through the tailpipe.
Features may include:
- Exceptional driver-forward visibility
- Best-in-class turning radius
- Unique mirror systems – improving driver awareness and increasing child safety
- 90% cleaner emissions than in 2006
- Ultra-low sulfur fuel usage
