The Van Hool AG300 is an articulated bus introduced in 1993. In 2001 the AG300 along with the other A300 Series of buses were redesigned. The word "New" was added before the model name to signify the redesign. In 2004 the AG300 was made avaialbe for the North American market. It features sleek European styling and differs from North American design by having a mid-mounted powertrain rather than a rear-mounted one. It is currently only one of two articulated bus models to be offered in North America.
