Simply called ‘Van Hool T’, the new range, which offers improvements in aerodynamics, design, comfort, and safety, will replace the current ‘T9’ and ‘TX’ series of touring coaches for the European market.

Van Hool still plans to build transit buses in the USA.

Van Hool used Euro Mobility Expo in Paris, France in June (7-9) to introduce the first edition of a completely new range of 100% zero emission buses onto the European and world markets. Available in four different lengths and equipped with a choice of zero emission powertrains of battery-electric, fuel cell (hydrogen) and trolley.

Van Hool, Kiepe Electric, and Alstom will be collaborating on a vehicle based on the Exqui.City line of buses for BRT lines.

The Exqui.City trambuses will serve with public transport operator Nobina in bus rapid transit routes in the Swedish city.

Reportedly the first of its kind in the world, the TDX25E will be shipped to Van Hool's official NA distributor, ABC Bus Companies.

AKASOL has signed a framework agreement to supply batteries to bus, coach and trailer builder, Van Hool NV of Koningshooikt, Belgium.

Van Hool NV of Koningshooikt, Belgium, has set up a new subsidiary in the UK called Van Hool UK Ltd. Based in Wellingborough, it will undertake the import, distribution, sales and aftersales support of the company’s bus and coach products.

A new overhead wire system in the Italian city of Pescara is to charge battery-powered buses equipped with In Motion Charging (IMC) technology from Kiepe Electric GmbH of Dusseldorf, Germany, a subsidiary of Knorr-Bremse AG of Munich.

Koningshooikt–based bus and coach manufacturer, Van Hool NV has shipped the first CX45E, a 100% battery-electric coach, to the USA.

“The buzz word right now is zero emissions, and whenever someone talks about zero missions, we go straight to battery electric, but that is not the only option,” were some of the opening remarks made by Jeff Madura – Van Hool, Director of Public Sector Sales, North America in a presentation on Van Hool’s role on new technologies.

Bus and coach manufacturer, Van Hool NV, has concluded an agreement with PSV Glass & Glazing, to become its sole partner in providing replacement windscreens and body glass for the complete Van Hool TX and EX model coach range.
