    These buses are 18 meter long and made by Van Hool. In Linz (Austria) we have more than 20 of them, but the larger version with 24 meters that can carry up to 180 passengers.

      The 24 meter version is running in Trondheim, Norway. They currently have 58 busses, and are planning to increase with more routes. The city has plenty of narrow streets and a few steep hills, but it doesn’t seem to be a problem unless the weather is extreme in the winter.

        On 10 April 2024, it was announced that Van Hool’s trustees had accepted a takeover bid from Netherlands-based bus manufacturer[3] VDL and Germany-based semi-trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull.
