The Van Hool CX45E is an all-electric version of the 45-foot CX45 touring coach from the Belgian manufacturer Van Hool, introduced in 2019 for the North American market. It uses Proterra lithium-ion batteries, which ABC Companies, the exclusive North American dealer, lists at 676 kWh, together with a Siemens ELFA 2 traction system and a CCS-1 fast-charge port, and it recovers energy through regenerative braking. The body keeps the full-size CX platform, with seating for up to 60 passengers. A smaller CX35E was said to be in the works but had not been released. Van Hool went bankrupt in April 2024.
