April 10, 2024

VDL Bus Roeselare, the new Flemish production facility of VDL Bus & Coach, was officially opened today, Wednesday 10 April. In addition to the 27,000m2 production facility, this also launches the workshop, warehouse, and offices of VDL Bus Roeselare and VDL Bus & Coach Belgium nv.

The site at Krommebeekpark 2, Roeselare, which covers an area of 77,000m2, has been in operation for some time. Here at VDL Bus Roeselare, there will be serial production of the new generation Citea, the 100% electric bus for public transport.

VDL Bus Roeselare's production capacity is around 800 buses per annum. Despite the fact that the Roeselare plant could manufacture this total number of new-generation Citeas each year on its own, VDL Bus & Coach deliberately chose to share production of this electric city bus with its other production facility in Valkenswaard. This maximises the use of available production capacity. It also increases flexibility.
