Last year, Thomas Built Buses announced that it had begun offering the new feature, known as diesel particulate filter (DPF) temperature stabilization or “Stay Warm.” The new feature is designed to optimize the regenerative parameters of diesel engines, increasing active re- generation and decreasing aftertreatment DPF maintenance issues. Over the past year, Thomas Built dealers have been implementing the Stay Warm feature in diesel school buses across North America. While some school districts are seeing up to a 75% decrease in aftertreatment-related issues, other school districts now have zero DPF-related maintenance issues, according to Thomas Built Buses. In partnership with Cummins, the Stay Warm feature is standard and factory-installed on all Cummins engines with a standard exhaust con- figuration starting April 11, 2017. Thomas Built dealers can also have the engines programmed with the Stay Warm feature for customers with buses with older Cummins engines (model year 2010 or later). Lonestar Truck Group | Albuquerque is an authorized Thomas Built Buses dealer.
