Wow!

The coach/bus/HGV trailer manufacturer, Van Hool that has largely been regarded as the epitomy of quality has filed for bankruptcy. Seems the coach/bus side of the business is being purchased by VDL.

It seems VDL intend to cease with the Van Hool bus range and are mainly interested in the coach side of the business. Be.interested to see how the combined range looks in a few months time. Van Hool have just released the new T range, and a new updated VDL Futura is meant to be released this year.

Not sure what SC intend to do with the lorry trailer side of the business
