G5 School Bus
The Micro Bird G5 school bus has a reputation as the leader in safety and longevity and offers the lowest total cost of ownership in its class. With a capacity of up to 36 passengers and up to six rows of seating, the Micro Bird G5 is a great choice for your fleet. Smooth operating, ADA-compliant wheelchair lifts from suppliers including Braun and Ricon are available for any of Micro Bird’s buses.
The Micro Bird G5 is available on either a Ford chassis with a 7.3L V8 gas engine or a Chevy/GMC chassis with a 6.6L gas engine. For a cleaner option and a simplified emissions system, the Ford 7.3L engine can be integrated with ROUSH CleanTech's Gen5 propane fuel system. All Micro Bird buses are reinforced by heavy-gauge steel side-impact barriers and integrated child seats and three-point lap and shoulder seat belts are available for enhanced safety and versatility. A “More View” window and fully glassed entry door maximize the driver’s view of students entering and exiting.
