The Van Hool A300K is a 30 foot transit bus for the North American transit market. It takes design cues from the A300 such as having the engine mounted to the left in the middle of the bus.
The distincitive front hood on the roof houses the engine cooling system. This type of mounting helps protect the cooling system from dirt, debris, and water. This mounting also allows fast moving air that bounces off the windscreen and up under the hood to cool the engine when the vehicle is in motion. Because the air generated from the vehicle's motion helps cool the engine, the bus's cooling system can be made smaller and not have to work as hard.
