Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
The All-American RE Electric offers significant total cost of ownership benefits, making it an ideal choice for schools and organizations focused on long-term savings. One of the primary advantages is its lower fuel costs, as the electric powertrain eliminates the need for diesel fuel, reducing overall operating expenses.
The electric motor is designed for efficiency and longevity, with fewer moving parts than a traditional engine, which leads to reduced maintenance requirements and lower costs over the vehicle’s lifespan.
In addition to fuel and maintenance savings, the All-American RE Electric benefits from incentives and rebates available for electric vehicles, further reducing the total cost of ownership. The bus is also built with high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials that extend its service life, minimizing the need for costly repairs and ensuring reliable performance over time. The electric powertrain is designed for durability, requiring less frequent servicing and reducing downtime, which translates into additional savings.
Maintenance costs are further lowered by the simplicity of the electric powertrain, which eliminates many of the components that require regular maintenance in diesel buses. Blue Bird’s support network ensures that operators have access to the parts and service needed to keep their buses on the road, maximizing uptime and further reducing the total cost of ownership.
The All-American RE Electric combines fuel savings, reduced maintenance, and durability to deliver a cost-effective, long-term transportation solution.
