A Blue Bird conventional on the International chassis & cowl with the short-lived DT408 diesel engine.

The DT408 was quickly created by decreasing the bore and stroke of the DT466 so that they can swiftly have a replacement for the DT360, which had to be discontinued because it couldn’t comply with the EPA’s then-new emissions regulations by 1994.

The DT408 was very problematic, and was discontinued by late 1995.
