Van Hool C2000 series

The Van Hool C2000 series is a family of touring coaches that the Belgian manufacturer Van Hool introduced to the United States market in 2000 as a lower-cost coach for long-distance routes. Styled like the more expensive T21 series, the C20 range was sold in North America by ABC Companies, with the 45-foot C2045 as its main model. The coach could be ordered with the Cummins ISX12 or the Detroit Diesel DD13 in later years, and earlier versions also offered the Cummins M11 plus, Cummins ISM, Detroit Diesel Series 60 and Caterpillar C13, with an Allison B500 automatic or a ZF AS Tronic automated gearbox. Greyhound ran a fleet of C2045 coaches alongside its MCI buses in Michigan. In 2013 the C2045 was redesigned as the CX45.
