That is in the country where I live, Belgium. My origin is Sri Lanka. Since a week (10/04/2024), Belgium no more own bus brand Van Hool which was bunkrupted. That is very pity. But VDL also has good buses, but they give some disruptions, such as: doors who can not close well. So the drives have to try to close the doors more times.

For the doors, i think is the sensibility of captors, Citaros has same problems.

Good choice with Belgium. Even though I’m sure you miss your home food and temperatures ☀️😁🌍 Sad with Van HOOL. We hope they will return

Nice looking factory! As far as I know, VDL was trying to buy Van Hools Bus segment or already has bought it, I am curious what is going to happen to Van Hool :/ and their not so long ago released coach lineup.

Interesting with proof that you learn something new everyday. So it’s official now that VAN-HOOL is no longer? Or are they going to try to reorganize. They had a pretty solid presence here in America for many years.

More accurate: VDLs coach buses use DAF/Paccar engines. VDLs (last remaining) diesel citybus uses a Cummins engine.
