The fuel cell version uses a fuel cell from Ballard вЂ“ it is the well-known FCmove HD. Such a body version is often only offered as a trolley bus, but Van Hool will in future also sell the 24-metre bus with a battery. The batteries are from Akasol, and the energy content ranges from 490 kWh in the twelve-metre bus to 686 kWh in the 24-metre double-articulated bus. The battery-electric version is powered by two ZF Axtrax axles, each producing 140 kW, regardless of the length of the vehicle. The climate inside the vehicle is controlled by a system based on heat pump technology and traction heat recovery.

A closed cabin with plenty of storage space is provided for the driver as standard. Other features include the aerodynamic shape of the front, a large windscreen and the latest generation of LED headlights. In this way, retrofitting, a possible later conversion or even the replacement of components is easier to implement.

For example, the manufacturer attached a modular mounting system to the roof of the vehicles for the installation of components such as batteries, air conditioning and control systems. The Belgian manufacturer Van Hool has presented a new bus series with four different vehicle lengths (12, 13, 18 and 24 metres), which will be offered exclusively with zero-emission drive systems (battery, fuel cell and overhead line).Д®ven before the official announcement of the new A-series, Van Hool had already received 13 orders for a total of 162 buses so it seems theyвЂ™ve hit a niche for demand.Дuring the conception and development of the new A-series, Van Hool says it paid particular attention to the modularity of the buses, in addition to weight and durability.
