The register lists 3 versions with six-cylinder engines of 5,883 to 12,902 cm³, kerb weights of 9,050 to 14,404 kg at a gross vehicle weight of 14,440 to 18,600 kg, lengths of 11,570 to 11,990 mm and widths of 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
VDL Bus & Coach is one of the larger European manufacturers of line and touring buses, supplying both public transport operators and private coach companies; the length of around 12 metres matches the usual upper limit for two-axle coaches in Europe. Some chassis are also used to build double-decker coaches, which places extra demands on frame rigidity and centre-of-gravity height.
When buying a used coach of this size, check the condition of the engine and gearbox given high mileages in long-distance service, corrosion on the chassis and underbody, the function of doors, air conditioning and luggage hatches, and the braking system given the high gross vehicle weights, as well as the condition of the seat upholstery and emergency exits, which are subject to regular inspection in passenger service.
