A lineup of 18 Van Hool CX45 buses were acquired and put into operation at Carroll, Iowa’s Windstar Lines, marking the largest number of motorcoaches delivered in a single day for ABC Companies.

The delivery brings the total to 186 new and used coaches acquired by Windstar from ABC Companies since 1995, underlining a shared commitment to excellence in transportation.
