- Van Hool CX45E
A full-size motorcoach. Battery-electric.
The Van Hool CX45E brings battery-electric power to a 45-foot motorcoach platform, with passenger comfort, luggage capacity and the familiar CX Series design for operators exploring zero-emission transportation.
Electric transportation built on the CX platform.
The Van Hool CX45E combines the full-size CX motorcoach platform with a battery-electric powertrain for operators evaluating electric transportation for applicable routes and duty cycles.
With seating for up to 60, passenger amenities and luggage space, the CX45E provides an electric motorcoach option without moving away from the passenger experience operators expect from a full-size coach.
