其實美國好多校巴唔同廠 d bodywork 都好似，我懷疑係同一間公司出 body 既
同一個車身設計圖吧...
點解美國一定要用凸頭? 點解原本可以放車底的引擎, 放在凸頭上會大左咁多?

車禍時可做為緩衝空間...?

No. Most school buses in the US are rear-engined
這車是否引入美國的車身款式,是葉片避震,還是氣墊避震?
It also depends on the budget of the school district, in WA, most school bus are rear engine made by Blue Bird or Thomas Build buses (Thomas uses Mercedes Engines), and Blue Bird uses either Catepilla, Cummins or John Deer.those Front engine buses are mostly truck chassis from International Navister or Freightliner, they are cheaper but harsher ride.and most body look similar because there are a federal requirement to follow, so most of the spec are similar.also, due to the federal Mandate, a school bus cause more then a New Flyer D60LF or a Alexander Dennis E 500.

What kind of regulation can make a truck cost more than a E500?
It would not be possible in HK!
小弟喺美國讀書嘅經驗，校巴只有兩隻車身牌子(bluebird 同 Thomas,仲有一間已執笠嘅Crown(只有自己出嘅底盤配校巴))，佢地有出自己底盤，用佢地自己底盤嘅多數都係平頭嘅，仲有美國校巴係冇冷氣嘅，D櫈又唔舒服，小弟個人較喜歡Thomas嘅校巴(好快同設計較新)，有咩想問就間la，答得嘅我都會答
Material, fire regulation, seat padding, driver position, colour, height, window size, reflective material, etc etc...they may look like a normal bus, but the inside is totally different, and because of the straight guideline to follow, they manufacture high is alot higher then normal bus, u can ask ur Local GAO office, school district, and manufacture for the price of the school, and u will be scared....
Btw, not only BB or Thomas, there are also Collins, mid-bus and a few other company make school bus, but only BB and thomas have rear engine chassics made by Spartan bus or Freightliner.

haha, me personally like Thomas too, the RE with Mercedes Engine is great, Blue Bird ok la, the cummins ISLe is loud though, and the JohnDeere is crap.in US, only MB, Cummins and Cat engine are good...also Aillison B500R gear box....
US school bus have A/c ga, those in the Flordia and some part of CA has a/c on top, thermo king unit.
