I was honestly amazed at how much of the process in this factory was made by real people and not by robotics... truly impressive video

As a Belgian i am still very sad about the bankruptcy and how the family ran the business. I hope that VDL takes care of the brand and keeps the van hool badge rolling on the road but as this video shows the Macedonia plant looks to have a bright future.

My dad works here and knowing the profesionalism of his an of his colleagues I must say that they are vroducing one of the safest busses out there.

What a great video.. As a employee at VDL Bus & Coach, I watched it with a lot of passion. Now I understand completely why VDL has taken the new ownership of Van Hool. Here’s to many more beautiful buses!

It is insane to me that you drove that double decker of "Bakker" with the blue stripes. We are awaiting receival of this coach and it will be my allocated coach for the upcoming years.

Just realizing how fast your progress into your career it is letting us now appreciate bus manufacturing process of one of the most good-looking buses in the world.

Vanhool made some of the best coaches for New Zealand only four ever produced and they are coveted as the best coaches on the market.

Let's hope the quality is better than it was before the bankruptcy, because before the bankruptcy, all buses produced here needed to be sent to the Belgian plant to get checked, and they had to fix a LOT of major problems with the vehicles produced in Skopje.

25:35 that bus belongs to Tommy Callinan, Callinan Coaches, Co. Galway in Ireland. He operates exclusively vanhool products

As a bus operator for the metropolitan transit system in San Diego, California, I really enjoyed this video.  I am a bus geek as well.

Beautiful country, and the breakfast makes a Hampton Inn free breakfast look like dog food.

A fantastic tour of VDL Vanhool a very professional business to make 🇲🇰 Macedonia proud.

The RHD coach you drove is for Callinan Coaches in Ireland, who operate tours on behalf of CIE Tours International  throughout Britain and Ireland. I drove for them for a while, doing their London to Dublin service, also in a Van Hool DAF.

It has been 15 years since I rode on VanHool bus it was an AG300 articulated for the RTL in Longueuil they Served the 45 for many years those buses were the first time I ever rode on a arctic bus I feel in love it this will have a place in my heart for Transit

I remember my first ride in a VanHool in high school for a fields trip to Canada and thought it was the bees knees, the epitome of luxury coaches.  Don't get me wrong, love me a Crown and Gillig school bus but I cannot imagine what VanHools are now after two decades.

The commitment the employees show is remarkable.

Props for another informative video! Since my fleet here in the U.S. is currently 100% Vanhool it was extra special seeing the Macedonia facility up close and personal like this. I my earlier years I had the gracious opportunity to visit the factory in Belgium 3 separate times. I was always fascinated by their ability to build so many various models. It was very interesting seeing the more European EX model. I had hoped over the years something like the EX17 might make its way to the states.  I guess we will see what the future brings.

The interior of vanhool is much more beautiful than before. The first bus I came into contact with was vanhool. I think its appearance is inferior to Prevost, but other aspects are good…

VERY interesting.   Thank you.

Loved this video. Never seen process of building a bus ever. Wonderful family of staff people appears caring of workers. Americans need more of that touch.
