VDL Bus & Coach bv

Passenger transport vehicles for public transport and long-distance travel form the core business of VDL Bus & Coach bv. The company develops, manufactures, sells and supports buses and coaches, including the Citea electric bus range and Futura coaches. Its vehicle development combines aerodynamic design, lightweight construction, energy-efficient powertrains and flexible interior layouts, with attention to safety, passenger comfort, operating efficiency and maintenance costs. For zero-emission fleets, it acts as a system supplier, integrating vehicles with monitoring and charging infrastructure. The business also purchases and sells used buses.

Manufacturing takes place in Western Europe, with e-mobility centres in Valkenswaard and Roeselare. The company introduced its first electric Citea bus in 2013 and reports that its electric buses have since travelled more than 200 million kilometres in European cities. Sales are conducted through corporate offices, importers and agents in more than 30 countries. Its after-sales organisation covers repair, maintenance, training, original equipment parts and financing, supported by service locations and a parts distribution network. VDL Bus & Coach operates as part of VDL Groep, a Dutch industrial family business with a long-term focus on development and production.
