Our GPN Strategic Partner, VDL, wins with its Futura FMD2 the IBC Economy Award

VDL Futura FMD2 wins IBC Economy Award
The focus of the 2015 edition of the International Bus & Coach Competition (IBC) was the intercity coach. A number of experts in the field subjected the participating coaches to a battery of tests conducted over five days at the beginning of May 2015. The VDL Futura FMD2 was the undisputed winner for most cost-effective coach. The carefully considered lightweight concept in combination with the aerodynamic design and the most optimal powertrain resulted in the lowest fuel consumption by far. Add to this a high passenger capacity, lots of luggage space and a low cost per kilometre and the result is a coach that enables an operator to truly make money.
“We see winning the IBC Economy Award as confirmation that we are successfully making good on our promise to provide ‘Profit of Ownership’, one of our core brand values. We are very proud of this,” said Rémi Henkemans, managing director VDL Bus & Coach bv. The IBC Economy Award will be presented during Busworld 2015.
