Saving money has never been more important for the industry. The 15th STN EXPO addresses the concerns school bus operators nationwide have on rising costs across the board. In Reno, Nev., July 26-30, workshops will cover best practices for lowering fuel procurement costs, understanding the vehicle specification process to get the most bang for the buck, electronic transmission controls and retrofitting rear dual wheels to “Super Singles” for better fuel mileage, and understanding the costs of alternative fuels for school buses. There are plenty of other efficiencies to be learned, but be sure to register today. The EXPO is just over two weeks away!
