What kind of engines/transmissions do busses have?
all sorts of stuff
there are lots of options
>>15357726
depends which manufacturer but ones i know use big ass Allisons.
>>15357726
Is that a real bus?
If so, how is that practical or efficient? At most it can seat 13 people, including the driver. A Ford Transit or similar can seat up to 15 and have a much smaller powertrain. Plus it already exists. Someone would have had to design that to some extent. Why would the bus company do that knowing their competition is far superior. It's not like it's more off-road worthy or anything.
So many questions...

>Do wheelies
I see no problem here
>>15357768
Probably the tard wrangler for an extremely small school
>>15357726
International 7.3s or 6.9s, Ford big blocks, new ones just have medium duty CAT engines.
>tfw the bus you ride on as a kid is probably shuttling spics in South America across the world's most dangerous roads

Dude take seats out and insert bed. Perfect for camping.
My literally retarded brother loves school busses, so I picked up a lot of things.
Keep in mind the bulk of them are built on medium truck frames. So just look up whatever is in the medium trucks for that marque and there you go.
Cummings, international, gms use duramax, fords use powerstroke, mercedes. Most use Allison transmissions.
>>15357726
Chevy 350 and a turbo 400. Same as semis
>>15359751
A civic hatchback literally serves the same purpose
>>15357726
conventional slushbox at least in europe;
automated manual if it's a "long-distance" shuttle
>>15360257
I thought semis all used inline 6 diesels
I see a lot of Duramax engines
They vary as much as cars. You need to be more specific.
>>15360193
This
>>15357726
Non-synchronised manuals or computer controlled non-synchro manuals on newer trucks/busses.
>>15357726
Something like our babby tractors and straight trucks have. 7L-9L I6 diesels (Cat, Cummins, Maxxforce) with a 5spd or 6sp auto like the Allison. I think lots are 7.3L.
>>15363336
Buses have been running autos for so long. They only use the ~7L engines like the DT466 so they aren't putting out 1500+ torks like the 12L+ engines in 18 wheelers. The 5spd and 6spd transmissions in them are normally automated manuals so they don't drive quite the same as a typical auto trans in a car.
Those engines also have a ton of different power ratings for the same displacement. The same 7.3L block could be 200HP or 450HP depending on the tarbos and how much fuel is dumped into them. Also, since 2000RPM redline diesel, they may be 250HP but have 500+ torks.
>>15357726
In Europe they mostly have either 6L or V8 diesels with 6 speed automatic transmissions
>>15363498
With 6L meant inline 6
Usually large I6/V8s with 1.5+L cylinders.
Trannies range from 4spd autos to 13+spd manuals.
>>15360272
Kek hatchback.
>>15357768
that's obviously a modified range rover ya butt
Some shitty automatic on a generic diesel
boring
next question

>"This thread is boring. I want more funny pepe threads about tired /o/ memes I've seen 20 times before."
>>15363498
>automatic transmissions
I was on Santorini a few years ago. All the buses I rode on (island transit system) appeared to have manuals with clutches. Windy roads, narrow town streets, no problems for the drivers.

>buy an old school bus
>shorten it for lulz
>watch autists freak out about how it isn't "practical or efficient"
>>15357768
you have autism dude
>>15363492
we get 7.5t trucks with cummins 5.9l engines rated to 130hp, so less than half what they make in dodge trucks
>>15357768
It's probably a school bus mod project done by the high school auto shop class. Not actually used for hauling /o/ posters to special ed.
Look at the roof, it's just a shitty photoshop you idiots
>>15358036
>>15358445
only the lucky ones
>>15357726
Auto 4 speeds and flat 6 volvo diesels
>>15358466
Those pieces don't fit together.
>>15363492
>International diesel tech here. this is true.
also come with cummins engines. all inline 6 cyl. some have been spec'd to have shit teir diesel v8's, MF7 naming one.
