How about thirty-four good reasons?

1. ElDorado National's Salina, Kansas plant was the first commercial cutaway bus manufacturing facility to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification.

2. The Aerotech is on record as the number-one selling commercial cutaway bus in the industry since 1985.

3. The Aerotech is the only commercial cutaway bus that has been crashed tested.

4. The Aerotech has been FTA-Altoona tested for 7 years/200,000 miles with NO failures during the Structural Durability Test.

5. The Aerotech steel-reinforced composite body is more resistant to impact, rust, corrosion than a traditional steel frame bus and is easy to clean.

6. The Aerotech steel-reinforced composite body has a lower temperature absorption rate than a traditional steel frame bus for improved interior temperature control.

7. The Aerotech steel-reinforced composite body has a lower sound transmission rate than a traditional steel-frame bus for improved sound insulation.

8. The Aerotech steel-reinforced composite body has a lower repair cost than a traditional steel-frame bus, because damage is localized and eliminates "shock transfer" throughout the body structure.

9. The Aerotech steel-reinforced composite body has no exterior lap joints or raised seams for improved aesthetic appearance and easier washing and cleaning.

10. The standard track-seating system is integrated into the floor structure which provides superior seat anchorage and a more secure floor-to-body marriage.

11. The standard track-seating system provides an additional side crash barrier around the perimeter of the body structure.

12. The floor structure has been computer load-tested to 40,000 lbs. with minimal (less than 1/16") deflection at the perimeter.

13. 3/4" plywood floor decking is "hand-brush" undercoated and end-sealed before it is installed on the floor frame structure to provide 100% seal and protection from moisture penetration.

14. The main electrical harness is pre-assembled and computer-tested before installation to identify and correct any potential electrical problems and function-tested after installation.

15. All electrical wiring is color, number and function coded for ease of identification of system and component circuitry.

16. All electrical harness connectors are one-way, AMP plug-in type connectors.

17. All exterior electrical connectors are coated with di-electric spray to protect from moisture and corrosion.

18. A complete electrical schematic is provided inside the electrical power source panel for on-site trouble shooting.

19. All driver controls and switches for bus body components are relays instead of terminal type to reduce heat and related failures.

20. Electrical power source panel is easily and completely accessible inside the vehicle away from harmful exterior elements.

21. Tailights are mounted in rubber gaskets, permanently sealed and completely impervious to dirt/moisture with a minimum 5-year life.

22. Interior wall and ceiling panels are bright white, highly durable gel-coated fiberglass, resistant to vandalism and easy to clean.
