Collins Bus Corp. Partners with Westport to Launch CNG School Bus
Collins Bus Corporation, the leading manufacturer of Type A school and multi function school activity buses, has announced that it is accepting orders for its new compressed natural gas (CNG) model that provides an estimated 250-300 mile range, decreases greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by up to 15% and reduces operating costs.
Built on a Ford E-450 6.8L cutaway chassis backed by a Ford Factory 5-year / 60,000-mile engine and powertrain warranty, Collins’ CNG bus features the Westport WiNG™ Power System dedicated natural gas fuel system certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
“We are very pleased to partner with Westport to begin offering a CNG bus model in the fastest growing segment of the alternative fuel school bus market,” said Kent Tyler, president and CEO of Allied Specialty Vehicles’ bus division and interim president of Collins Bus.
Collins Bus will begin delivery in the fall.
