ECW Busworld Kortrijk 2011

European Coach Week (Oct. 15, 2011)

The world famous event for the bus and coach industry, Busworld Kortrijk, is preceded immediately by a related event, namely The European Coach and Bus Week, (ECW, for short). The fifteenth edition is set to take place from Saturday 15 up to and including Tuesday 18 October 2011 and consists of a series of trials and presentations. The tests are to be performed on the Xpo Kortrijk premises and a number of outside test courses.
ECW is aiming to play a pioneering role, developing into a tool for policy makers, and providing insight into developments in the field of mobility and genuine opportunities in the future.
Already during the 2009 edition, ECW followed a completely different course, geared to the aspirations of tomorrow's bus and coach operators and travellers.
A working group has reviewed and revised the formula to produce a modern concept with numerous innovations, which will be maintained during this edition.
Not only coaches, but city and interurban buses can take part as well, because there have been plenty of developments in this very segment.
The vehicles are presented in a standard commercial design.

Ten constructors will participate at this contest with more than 17 coaches and buses:
Buses:
VAN HOOL - VDL (2) - IVECO IRISBUS -- EVOBUS (2 Mercedes) - B-Style & BUSINESS BV - OTOKAR - CSABA METAL ZRt
Coaches:
VAN HOOL - IVECO IRISBUS -- EVOBUS (1 Mercedes + 1 Setra) -- TEMSA - DIETRICH CAREBUS GROUP -- FAST - VDL
