A team of ABC technicians recently visited the Van Hool
factory in Belgium for preliminary training and product knowledge transfer to
support the forthcoming Van Hool CX45E All Electric bus release. Together with
ABC and Proterra, Van Hool continues to make preparations for the innovative
new model introduction planned for North American unveiling at UMA Expo 2020 in
Nashville, TN.
“Together with our partners Van Hool and Proterra, ABC is
leveraging deep expertise to bring advanced electric technology to the
motorcoach segment”, said Mr. Roman Cornell, President and Chief Commercial
Officer at ABC Companies. “We are pleased to migrate the benefits and utility
of electric vehicle technology enjoyed in the automotive and transit segments
to our customer base”, said Cornell.
In 2020 operators can also expect to see enhanced interior
designs onboard the CX series (including the new CX45E model) which integrates a
restyled passenger entry, cabin and restroom, as well as a fully redesigned driver’s
area.
The new Van Hool All Electric, Zero-emission CX45E will be showcased at next year’s UMA Expo 2020 where ABC and partners will present a complete overview of the project and be on hand to field questions about the innovative new electric model which offers all the luxury passenger amenities owners expect from the standard Van Hool CX Series equipment.
