ABC Companies delivered two model year 2021 Van Hool CX45’s to ECS Transportation Group in Dallas. The vehicles will be used to support the operator’s growing luxury transportation service, and as such, offer fit and finish details that are designed to align with ECS’s high touch customer service and passenger experience.

A market leader in luxury ground transportation, the ECS fleet accommodates a wide range of executive, corporate and leisure travelers, as well as schools, universities, sports teams and church groups, and military movements. Headquartered in Dallas, ECS offers premium ground transportation to customers in over 600 cities worldwide. Its late model fleet includes Mercedes-Benz S Class sedans, Lincoln Continentals, and Chevy Suburban SUVs, Mercedes-Benz Sprinters, and minibuses — providing service from one up to 39 passengers.

For larger groups, the operator rounds out the fleet with Van Hool CX45 56-passenger motorcoaches — all appointed with luxury features such as black leather passenger seats, REI Elite HDMI E-System with six 15.6-inch monitors, onboard Wi-Fi, 110V USB charging outlets, enclosed parcel racks, and ambient lighting, while chrome mirrors and Mercedes black exterior paint showcase the ECS brand. Most importantly, a staff of highly-trained chauffeur drivers deliver a unique passenger experience that has cemented the operator’s reputation as a world-class, premium transportation provider.

The company made its move into motorcoach operations in 2016, targeting expansion into large-group transport. After a focused vetting process, ABC Companies was selected as its preferred supplier and service partner for the all-Van Hool motorcoach fleet. Owners Joanne and Simon Hazan met with multiple top tier motorcoach OEMs and chose ABC based on shared core values, their ability to provide responsive customer service and technical expertise, and continuous product innovation.

While the pandemic has literally put the brakes on business worldwide, the Hazans credit their ability to successfully staying the course by managing growth, investing in digital and fleet assets, expanding into new markets, and staying true to their business philosophy of high operational standards — delivered by a highly-trained, professional staff. As markets continue to open and travel resumes, ECS anticipates greater demand and growth and is eager to work with the ABC team to achieve its goals.
