Micro Bird G5 School Bus by Girardin

[0:01]Backed by more than a century of combined experience in the bus industry, Microbird sets the standard in school bus safety, comfort, and quality. At Microbird, all North American school bus safety standards are factored into the designs, which undergo rigorous testing before entering production. The dual wheel Microbird G5 is a safe and reliable choice, offering a capacity of up to 30 passengers. With a standard interior height of 76 in and a wide range of available options, the Microbird G5 school bus can be configured to meet your needs. All Microbird buses are built with a metal subfloor that insulates and protects passengers from road hazards. The bus is reinforced with side impact barriers and full-length seat rails, which adds rigidity and improves passenger safety. The body structure is built using one piece roof bows, creating a safety cage around passengers. Mechanical assembly of the marine grade galvanized steel structure improves production consistency and prevents corrosion. A rear impact wall with a buffer zone is standard on all Microbird G5 buses. The body structure is insulated using fiberglass wool, which protects against condensation and corrosion. Microbird buses are assembled using Ford, GMC, or Chevrolet chassis, available with either gas, diesel, or alternate fuel engines. Different wheelbases are available depending on the capacity and configuration of your bus. The bodies of the buses are mounted on double action rubber mounting blocks. Blocks are bolted through the frame rails for improved safety and require no periodic maintenance. The absorption they provide ensures a comfortable ride and helps prolong the life of your Microbird bus. The Microbird G5's unique water retention hip displaces water coming down the outside of the body, which seals the cabin and prevents water damage. The wiring in all Microbird buses is harnessed within the vehicle body, protecting it from the elements. Wires passing through metal are protected by grommets and loom to ensure safety and longevity. The buses are painted with super hard acrylic urethane paint, ensuring a brilliant and durable finish. Once painted, the buses are checked thoroughly for imperfections. A standard white roof helps control temperatures in the passenger compartment. A special undercoating is applied to the metal subfloor before the floor is installed. This protects the vehicle against corrosion and reduces road noise within the passenger cabin. All Microbird G5 school buses come standard with exterior LED lights that are integrated into the body design to prevent damage. The multiple diodes of LED lights require less maintenance and ensure reliable visibility. All school buses come standard with tinted split sash windows, including emergency exits. Dual pane thermal windows are also available to further regulate cabin temperatures and reduce road noise. The Microbird G5's 32-in wide entrance features an electric door and stainless steel handrails. The larger entrance door with full length glass windows offers greater accessibility and improves the driver's view. All Microbird buses offer a well integrated and ergonomic driver compartment. Easy access to controls and switches minimizes driver distraction and improves passenger safety. The more view window provides the driver with a better view of the loading zone. This important safety feature also minimizes blind spots while driving. The rear emergency exit doors on all Microbird buses are treated against corrosion and have drain holes that allow water to escape. The doors are equipped with stainless steel hinges and heavy duty latches, designed to reduce maintenance costs. A variety of seats and seating options are available to accommodate all kinds of passengers, including children of all ages. Seats can be equipped with lap belts, lap and shoulder belts, and integrated child seats. Various options and features can be added to your Microbird bus, such as a battery box, a roof hatch, or a heater and air conditioning unit. School buses can also be equipped with a crossing gate to ensure visibility of children crossing in front of the bus. Before leaving the factory, all Microbird buses are undercoated to protect against corrosion. All vehicles undergo a rigorous inspection, including a water test to ensure the cabin is properly sealed. Every measure is taken to ensure that each bus meets Microbird's standards of quality.
