Great video from somebody who lives in Europe! The USA really needs more European built buses such as from Mercedes Benz, MAN, Irisbus/Iveco and Solaris and not the New Flyer/Nova/Gillig crap, if they want to make public transport more attractive and reliable. Maybe the European manafactures could build their new plants in various locations across the USA! This Van Hool A330 is a great bus. Here in the UK we have/had some hydrogen ones in London and Aberdeen and (even though I sadly never been on them) they look very nice!
While Vanhool still produces buses in the US, It no longer produces Transit Buses and only produces Coach buses. I kinda would have loved to see European Transit buses in the US in Modern Day.
@@superbrownsheep3777probably US government want bus that Made in USA. I missed Neoplan, Ikarus, and MAN bus that used to run in America and too bad Leyland didn’t made it to America. Gillig is a boring bus in my experience. My city buy the heck out of it every years same model. Vanhool seem like my hope for great bus in America if Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and Scania refused to make bus in America
I find these american Van Hool buses very interesting. Does AC Transit still have any Van Hool buses in it's fleet and does Van Hool still make buses here in America?
I think you already know but they also have them in Minnesota at the University. They actually bought some new 2021 ag300 model's too. They also have a very new plant is Tennessee that is mainly for Transit and Coaches

Those European Companies used to sell buses in the US, But they stopped selling them for whatever reason.

I kinda like those a lot as well, the engines and the third door make it one of the most likeable types.
I love the 72R but now they use GILLIG Buses now.

@@Zharvuiys Yeah, I saw that on CPTDB and I was surprised Van Hool still makes transit buses for North America. And where in Tennessee?
