With the Citea MLE, VDL Bus & Coach is specifically focusing on the segment comprising midi buses for public transport with a product that offers many opportunities and meets the equirements and wishes of European passenger transport companies.
The Citea MLE has come about through a partnership with Wrightbus Limited, who will build the integral midibus in their UK & European manufacturing facility, based in Northern Ireland – a logical next step in a collaboration that spans more than a decade. During this period VDL Bus & Coach and Wrightbus have successfully completed various projects together. With the arrival of the Citea MLE this cooperation will be intensified even further.
