Connexxion places major order with VDL Bus & Coach

With its order of 355 Ambassadors, passenger transport company Connexxion has placed the largest order in the history of VDL Bus & Coach. In addition, Connexxion has also expressed its intention to purchase 10 Citeas during the course of this year. Both types of bus come with a clean EURO 5 engine and an EEV exhaust filter, realising a drastic reduction of CO2, NOx, NHMC and fine dust emissions. The order is worth a total of 70 to 75 million Euros. This multi-million euro order will provide extra employment for VDL Bus & Coach. All vehicles will be delivered in the course of 2008.

Ambassador ALE 120-225

The Ambassador is a low-energy light-weight bus, specially designed to provide comfort to public transport passengers. Thanks to its low-floor construction near the entrance and exit doors, the bus is also extremely accessible for those less mobile. The Ambassadors ALE 120-225 for Connexxion will have a length of 12 metres. The buses will be fitted with screens, showing information on the next four bus stops and up-to-date departure times of connecting trains. Chip card and CCTV are also part of the standard equipment.

Citea CLF 120-250

After a development period of more than one and a half years, VDL Bus & Coach is extremely proud of the first pilot of 10 Citeas, to be used by Connexxion. During the development of this latest urban bus, VDL Bus & Coach exploited the many years of experience it has built up with the production of light-weight constructions. The Citea benefits from a low empty weight, the advantages being considerably lower fuel consumption and lower maintenance costs. The entirely flat floor and the wide entrance and exit doors make the bus extremely accessible for wheelchair users and passengers with pushchairs.
