Jonckheere – other models: coach bodywork from the Belgian builder on Volvo chassis, 6.72 to 11.97-litre six-cylinders, gross weight 17,500 to 24,000 kg
Jonckheere is a Belgian coachbuilder from Roeselare that has built coach and bus bodywork since the 1930s and has belonged to the Dutch VDL group since 1998, after the Berkhof group took it over in 1994; its buses are built on chassis from international commercial-vehicle makers, and the register here lists a Volvo chassis alongside the P 99 model. This page gathers the versions the register could not assign to a named range.

The register lists 2 versions here with six-cylinder engines from 6,720 to 11,967 cc, kerb weights from 10,545 to 16,320 kg, gross vehicle weights from 17,500 to 24,000 kg, and lengths from 11,980 to 12,000 mm with a width of 2,500 mm.
Buses of this size run long-distance and scheduled services between European cities, where bodybuilders such as Jonckheere compete with Van Hool, Setra and Irizar over comfort, seating capacity and luggage-hold volume on a given chassis.
For a used example, check rust protection on the roof and floor frame of the body, the condition of the air conditioning and electrical system, the tightness of the luggage hatches, and the service condition of the engine and gearbox of the respective chassis maker, whose parts run through that maker's own dealer network. Parts supply for the body itself in such cases usually runs through VDL as Jonckheere's parent company.
