Feedback from customers, their drivers and the traveling public all contribute to ABC’s continuous updates and evolution of the CX product lines. 2023 Van Hool CX models expand on upgrades in recent years – ranging from a fully restyled cabin interior with relocated lavatory and upgraded passenger entry to enlarged driver’s area with integrated digital dash.
