A MAJOR order for articulated single deck buses for the Stockholm municipal undertaking has been won by the Belgian bodybuilder Van Hool. The chassis unit is a Volvo B58 and the body and trailer is built by Van Hool. The buses, equipped with Wilson semi automatic gearboxes, have 73 seats and can carry 125 passengers. The order calls for the supply of 75 buses.
