Bendix ESP now standard on Blue Bird units

B8 Fbd031 09 F8 4 Bec 9 Fe6 D5431 D3 Ddc94 300x200Bendix Electronic Stability Program (ESP) full-stability system is now standard equipment on all air-braked buses from Blue Bird Corporation, the companies announced Monday.

A proven technology that helps mitigate or possibly prevent loss-of-control and rollover conditions, Bendix ESP has been equipped on more than 700,000 commercial vehicles in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico since its launch in 2005.

“Even before full-stability systems became required technology on most commercial vehicles in 2017, they were essentially a safety standard among truck manufacturers and many fleets,” says TJ Thomas, Bendix director of marketing and customer solutions, Controls group. “Blue Bird took the lead in making full stability available on school buses, and Bendix is proud to build on our shared commitment to safer vehicles for students and bus drivers – there’s no more important cargo on the roads, after all.”

Blue Bird became the first North American school bus manufacturer to offer full-stability technology in 2014 when it made Bendix ESP available as an option on its conventional school buses.

“Nothing is more important to us than safety,” says Mark Terry, chief commercial officer, Blue Bird Corporation. “Bendix is a great partner, and we are excited to standardize their ESP system, having been first in the industry to offer full stability by Bendix as an option for the past three years.”
