Of course, the double-decker travel coach also has differences in its dimensions and the number of seats. What is clear is that the plug type is designed for the North American market with CCS Type 1. The analogue values for the TDX25E are not yet available. The CX45E’s DC charging power is 125 kW, and charging time is said to be about five hours (from 5 to 95 per cent SoC). The engine is powered by a 676-kWh battery pack from Proterra (E2), which is a lithium titanate pack (LTO) that is supposed to ensure a range of up to 500 kilometres – “depending on the type of terrain and weather conditions”, says Van Hool headquarters. The manufacturer gives the top speed as 114 km/h (71 mph). In response to an enquiry from electrive, the Belgian company said that both models hold an identical electric drive.īoth the solo and the double-decker coaches are equipped with a Siemens motor (Siemens ELFA II), which has a continuous output of 310 kW, a peak output of 360 kW and a torque of 4,242 Nm. The single-deck Van Hool CX45E that was launched last year, will now be followed by the double-deck TDX25E. According to company head Filip Van Hool, it is thanks to the demand from local customers that the second battery-electric long-distance bus model is now about to make its debut in North America in addition to the existing combustion engine portfolio. According to the company, which is based in Koningshooikt, Belgium, 11,000 of its coaches and buses are currently on the road in the USA and Canada in cooperation with its sales partner ABC Bus Companies. Van Hool has built up its business on the other side of the Atlantic over what has now become decades. The TDX25E is supposed to have a range of up to 500 kilometres and has been created for the North American market. An example of this is a coach service for the botanical garden, decorated with floral prints to promote its purpose.Long-distance buses with battery-electric drives are still a rare species but the Belgian commercial vehicle manufacturer Van Hool pushed zero-emission evolution forward with a double-decker coach with purely electric drive. For a more customized look, the exterior of the coach can reflect the journey ahead. Some even have onboard toilets for trips with fewer allowance for breaks.ĭepending on the itinerary, the requirements for each coach will be different. These will ease any discomfort for the passengers and make it a smoother ride. For longer distance rides, amenities such as reclining seats or in-build screens for entertainment may make the journey more bearable. Others may also have overhead shelving for smaller carry-on baggage.Īmenities are another factor to consider. The amount of storage will also affect the size, with some coaches equipped with luggage bays under the bus. The seats on a coach range from 30 to 60, and the size will correspond accordingly. First and foremost, the number of seats will be the first criteria to clear. While coaches are not a foreign term to most, there are specifications to consider depending on the services it provides.
