VanHool, The end of an Era
Compilation, 08/04/2024
Tribute to the employees of VanHool who are in danger of losing their jobs due to bankruptcy. And this because of a family feud over an inheritance. 1947 → 2024. Another piece of Belgian Automotive that is disappearing. Hoping for a takeover, with job retention.

The Dutch bus construction company VDL will take over the bus part and Schmitz Cargobull will take over the trailer construction part. Of the +-2500 people, only between 600 and 800 will be able to stay at work. I don't know if it will affect the American VanHool plant.

Family's and inheritance money never mix well. Brings out the worst.

Luckily, that is 1 thing my kids won’t have to worry about.
