The Van Hool CX45 is a 45-foot motorcoach available in Canada and the United States. It was launched in November 2013 alongside the TX range at ABC Companies' central Florida facility.[1] The CX45 is intended to be the economical compliment to the TX and an evolution of the C2045.
The front fascia of the C2045 was revised with a different headlight placement and the addition of two lines of LED accent lighting. The rear of the CX45 is a more drastic departure from the C2045 with new body lines, new rear window, and simplified tail lights in a red bezel. Inside, the coach features parcel racks with blue LED night lighting and new passenger service sets with backlit buttons.
