Den Oudsten – further models: the collection page of the Dutch bus builder from Woerden beyond the named ranges, city and touring coaches registered as trucks, 5,900 to 10,876 cm³ six-cylinder, 8.5 to 12 m long
This page brings together Den Oudsten vehicles not assigned to any named range. Den Oudsten was a Dutch bus builder based in Woerden whose city and touring coaches, such as the Alliance range and the B models, are listed in the vehicle registers as trucks because buses fall there under the heavy commercial vehicle class. Type designations such as B95 or B96-DL indicate the series and chassis length, while CM405 and Avance are separate model lines of the maker.

The register lists nine versions, all with six-cylinder engines displacing 5,900 to 10,876 cm³. Kerb weights range from 8,225 to 12,515 kg, gross vehicle weights from 11,000 to 17,800 kg, lengths from 8,500 to 12,000 mm and widths from 2,300 to 2,500 mm, values matching both city buses and long articulated or touring coaches.
Den Oudsten supplied Dutch transport operators and tour companies, occupying a comparatively small, strongly domestically oriented segment alongside larger makers such as DAF Bus, Bova and VDL. The vehicles gathered here span the range from a compact city bus to a long touring or articulated coach.
When buying used, the condition of the floor and chassis frame deserves particular attention, since buses of this generation saw heavy use in daily scheduled service. Door control, the kneeling system and the brakes should be checked for correct operation, as should the seals of the large glazed areas for leaks. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are usually still available through the independent bus parts trade, while specific body and interior parts are now mostly limited to salvage or special orders.
