VISION OPERATOR – HIGH PASSENGER CAPACITY When designing the passenger environment of the Futura 3, the focus was on making optimal use of the available space. Without losing sight of comfort and travel experience, optimum passenger numbers are crucial to our customer’s operations. The new 12.9-metre FHD3 can accommodate a 59+1+1 configuration! #VisionFutura #HighPassengerCapacity

Happy holidays from us to you! May your holidays be filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments with family or friends. We wish you a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year!

VISION OPERATOR - SYSTEM INTEGRATION New regulations and modern technologies have made coaches increasingly complex and sophisticated over the years. Futura 3 consists of a combination of both in-house developed and purchased hardware and software. Seamless interaction between these systems is crucial for optimal performance, travel experience and safety. To achieve this, we work closely with a selection of renowned first-tier suppliers. With Futura 3, we set a new standard in terms of system integration and optimisation! #VisionFutura #VisionOperator #SystemIntegration

Since September 2009, we have built hundreds of chassis for our double-decker coaches. Recently, we marked a significant milestone as the last diesel-engined chassis rolled off the production line at VDL Bus Eindhoven, our chassis plant. This event marks the end of the diesel era at VDL Bus Eindhoven, where we now proudly produce the chassis for the 100% electric new generation Citea.   Actually, it marks the end of a much longer period when diesel chassis were produced at the Hoevenweg in Eindhoven. Who can fill this in? #funfacts

Transdev Nederland has ordered as many as 86 battery-powered new generation Citeas. These electric city buses will start operating in the Utrecht Binnen concession in about a year's time. Transdev is one of the largest operators in the Netherlands. It plays a leading role in emission-free mobility and has been one of VDL Bus & Coach's largest customers for years. The order for 86 new generation Citeas, the confirmation of its confidence in VDL buses, is part of Transdev's strategy to equip its entire fleet in Utrecht with emission-free vehicles. The city currently operates 50 bus lines, on which more than 30 million passengers are transported to their destinations every year. Transdev chose our new generation Citea because of its low energy consumption, optimal deployment, optimal comfort for both passengers and driver and maximum passenger capacity. The order of 86 electric buses further expands the cooperation between VDL Bus & Coach and Transdev. We look forward to this new step in our sustainable cooperation!

VISION OPERATOR – WEIGHT REDUCTION   VDL’s Futura stands out for its impressively low vehicle weight, thanks to advanced lightweight materials and sophisticated construction techniques. With Vision Futura, we take another significant step forward in weight reduction. By optimising the sidewall construction, materials and by inserting lightweight VDL seats, we have achieved additional weight savings.   Less weight means less mass to put in motion, resulting in better driving & handling and of course fuel consumption!   Our next stop in the world of Vision Futura is Systems Integration… Keep an eye on our social channels.   #VisionFutura #VisionOperator #WeightReduction
