PROFILE |

Blue Bird Corporation is from the Old School of bus manufacturers. The US's largest school bus maker, Blue Bird also produces commercial buses and high-end motorcoaches (Wanderlodge). A network of more than 90 independent distributors sells the company's buses and motorcoaches to government entities (school districts), churches, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Blue Bird's school bus division offers buses that carry from 12 to 90 passengers. Some models feature natural-gas engines and special needs lifts. The company also provides financing and leasing services. Founded in 1932 by A. L. Luce Sr., Blue Bird is now a subsidiary of UK-based bus builder Henlys Group plc.
