VAN HOOL and Belgian electric traction equipment maker ACEC are being financially supported by the Belgian Ministry of Economic Affairs Prototype fund to study, construct and test two-axle single-deck and three-axle articulated trolleybuses.
Two prototypes are being built and a new trolleybus network has been announced for the town of Ghent.
The Van Hool/ACEC consortium hopes to obtain a major share of what it sees as a developing export market for complete trolleybus systems including the fixed installations.
The manufacturers forecast an export market of about 250 trolleybuses in 1985 which could rise to 450 within a few years.
It considers that 25 cities currently considering trolleybus networks will be accessible to it and that these include San Jose in Costa Rica, Santa Cruz in Bolivia, Campine Curitiba, Belem, Rio de Janeiro and Santos in Brazil, Teheran in Iran, Ankara in Turkey, Johannesburg in South Africa, Delhi in India, Islamabad in Pakistan and Colombo in Sri Lanka.
