6:36 I am not the biggest fan of them too, there is an option to order them with the rectangular style lights. In MA, (at least our local dealership does this) they order all of their buses with the rectangular style LED marker lights and turn signals. I think there probably is an option on the EFX and HDX to have the bigger lights too.
@CMLayton884 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I just think that for a vehicle that needs to be visible and safe, the little turn signals aren’t good.
@scottfleming61664 жыл бұрын
I was an electrical engineer at Thomas Bus for 13 years. I designed the body wiring harnesses for the EFX. I wasn't happy with the pin lights either. But at that that, there was a lot of politics at Thomas to use them because Bluebird was using them and they costs less. I think they are less likely to be hit by something, a tree limb for instance, but I agree they are not as visible.

3:31 I haven't ridden in a school bus that is released or facelifted after 2009, so I want to know how new school buses are like in the early 2020s. Passengers cars and light-duty vehicles have changed quite a lot since model year 2009, so I would like to know how it is with heavy-duty vehicles. I don't see any vents above the passenger seats. I also looked at Thomas' website and could not find a list of standard or optional features. Does this generation of bus (released model year 2012) have air conditioning? If it does, is it for the driver only or have the driver vents intentionally been made high velocity (search high velocity air conditioning) in order to cool the entire cabin? Does it come standard with it? What is the MSRP of the base model this bus, and what are the trims available? What is the fuel economy for the EPA's city and highway test cycles?

Did Thomas finally do away with the Freightliner beeping turn signals? Or is that an option that can be enabled/disabled? I also noticed the red light chime before you opened the door. Our HDX's had those back before Wisconsin had 8 ways, and it was just the two reds up front and rear, and the chime would ding the entire time you had them on without the door open. Our 2013 EFX's didn't do that with the three way switch and the ambers.
