Notably, the Futura 3 can operate using alternative HVO fuel sources and has improved sight lines and structural reinforcements.

VDL aimed to reduce maintenance costs by using modular components and improving accessibility to technical systems. The company will also display the Citea 13.5-metre Low Entry vehicle at the event.
