The ROUSH CleanTech team’s curiosity, ingenuity and determination allow us to push the boundary between possible and impossible. And bridging that gap involves close partnership with our customers, dealers and service center partners to ensure our community continues to thrive. 

Last week, the ROUSH CleanTech team spent several days with our “extended family.” Our exclusive school bus partner, Blue Bird, hosts an annual dealer meeting to share successes from the past year and — more importantly — discuss strategic initiatives for the year ahead.   

In 2009, Susan Roush-McClenaghan became the first woman to win in the special final shootout round at the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl of Street Legal Drag Racing’s annual event. Her race car runs on propane.

At Roush, we take the topic of reducing emissions seriously because everyone has the right to breathe clean air.

It’s back to school time and yellow buses are transporting students daily. In Virginia, Newport News Public Schools (NNPS) is kicking off the new school year with its impressive fleet of propane school buses. The district serves 26,500 students, with 24,000 students transported across 202 routes using 317 buses. This includes 153 Blue Bird Vision Propane models equipped with ROUSH CleanTech systems, which is nearly half its fleet.

This spring, recently released reports shed light on the state of transportation fuels and technology. Here’s a look at some of the key facts and findings to help your teams consider how to move toward sustainability over the next few years.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to visit Spearfish, South Dakota, to enjoy the unveiling of the state’s first-ever propane buses. We celebrated not one, but two, transit agencies that have made the economical and environmentally responsible decision to integrate propane vehicles into their fleet.

This month we’re celebrating the renewal of an exclusive clean school bus contract between Blue Bird Corporation, Ford Component Sales and ROUSH CleanTech. After 12 years of collaboration, we’re thrilled to reaffirm that a successful, long-term partnership in the alternative fuel industry is more than possible — it’s preferred!

We just wrapped up an exciting, informative and action-packed weekend at the National Propane Gas Association’s 2024 Southeastern Convention & International Propane Expo in Charlotte, North Carolina. There’s lots to share with you!
