VISION OPERATOR - DRIVELINE EFFICIENCY   VDL’s Futura is known for its low fuel consumption. With Vision Futura, we even set a new standard. Through our collaboration with industry leaders DAF and ZF and thanks to a seamless integration of components in the vehicle architecture, we can minimise the operator’s Total Cost of Ownership. In addition, our renewed driveline also offers other benefits, such as:   ✔ Low emission levels ✔ Exceptional fuel efficiency ✔ Minimal noise output ✔ Compatibility with HVO ✔ Excellent Return on Investment   …and even more!   #VisionFutura #VisionOperator #DrivelineEfficiency

Are you ready to discover our new generation Citea LF-181? ZERO COMPROMISE. MOVE. TOGETHER.

VISION OPERATOR - AERODYNAMICS During the design and development phase of Vision Futura, we paid close attention to aerodynamics. This resulted in improved aerodynamics for optimal performance, with innovative features such as: ✔ Sleek Front End - Designed with a rounded front end, optimising the transition from the front to the top and bottom. With closed headlights and minimum protruding parts, smooth airflow around the vehicle is ensured. ✔ Roof Optimisation - Fewer protruding parts on the roof reduce the accumulation of snow and dirt, improving the vehicle’s air resistance. ✔ Improved Door Sealing – The vehicle’s aerodynamics have been enhanced and noise levels in the passenger environment are reduced. ✔ Wheel Protection - The wheel guards are designed to direct airflow past the wheels as efficiently and quickly as possible. ✔ CMS (Camera Monitoring System) – High-performance cameras replace traditional mirrors, reducing the frontal area of the vehicle and optimising airflow around the front. #VisionOperator #VisionFutura #VehicleDesign #Aerodynamics #VDLBusCoach #CoachTravel

VISION OPERATOR - RATIONALISED DESIGN Derived from our brand values are the operating visions of Futura 3: ✔ Vision Driver ✔ Vision Passenger ✔ Vision Operator Having concluded the world of both Vision Driver and Passenger, we now welcome you into the world of Vision Operator! Experience how the design of the new Futura 3 comes to life. A design that bears witness to evolution, with recognisable lines dating back to the current & first generation Futura and its predecessors. In addition, Vision Futura incorporates elements of the new generation Citea, such as the eyebrow-shaped DRL lights and the synergy in the rear lights, ensuring our strong brand recognition. Aerodynamics and design blend seamlessly in our Futura 3. The rear of the Futura, for instance, has sharp lines that enhance both aerodynamics and aesthetics. Its contours have been refined, with the widest point now positioned lower, giving the vehicle a more solid and stable appearance. This broad theme is consistently reflected throughout the vehicle’s design. #VisionOperator #VisionFutura #VehicleDesign #VDLBusCoach #CoachTravel
