The Van Hool ExquiCity is a bus rapid transit vehicle that the Belgian maker Van Hool launched in April 2011, designed to give a bus the styling and comfort of a tram while keeping the flexibility and lower cost of a bus. It came in two lengths, the single-articulated ExquiCity 18 and the double-articulated ExquiCity 24, and each could be ordered as a trolleybus, a diesel-electric hybrid, a fuel cell hybrid or a fully electric bus. First orders came from Parma in Italy and Metz in France, a fleet of ExquiCity 18 buses began running as the Glider service in Belfast in September 2018, and Ile-de-France Mobilites ordered 56 battery-electric double-articulated vehicles for the Paris region. Van Hool went bankrupt in April 2024 before all of them were delivered.
