The Van Hool A300L is a 40-foot (12.2 m) low-floor transit bus from the Belgian manufacturer Van Hool, sold in Europe as the newA300L. It is the longer version of the 30-foot A300K, and its distinguishing feature is an engine mounted between the front and rear axles, a layout chosen to improve ride quality. AC Transit in California took delivery of its first fleet in 2008, and later orders went to Utah Transit Authority for its MAX bus rapid transit line, to FirstTransit for the University of Minnesota Campus Connector and to Baltimore for the Charm City Circulator. In the letter code, L stands for lang, the Dutch word for long, and K for kort, short.
