introducING the VDL Futura 3: setting a new benchmark in coach innovation

With the launch of the VDL Futura 3, VDL Bus Group builds on the proven DNA of the Futura range while simultaneously establishing a new benchmark in design, technology and sustainability.

The VDL Futura 3 has been developed with a clear vision: to be future-ready without compromising on comfort, efficiency and reliability.

Every aspect of the vehicle has been carefully re-evaluated to meet the demands of tomorrow, while remaining true to the trusted essence of the Futura line:

• Driving comfort, intuitive controls
• Contemporary design, strong visual identity
• Optimised fuel efficiency, focus on TCO
• Smart safety systems, maximum control
• Redesigned climate system, comfort in all conditions
• Optimised maintenance for maximum uptime

Ergonomics have been a key focus. Both drivers and passengers benefit from an optimised layout, enhanced seating comfort and intuitive controls. Improving usability and reducing physical strain on long journeys.

The design and user experience have been elevated. The VDL Futura 3 features a sleek, modern exterior paired with a warm and functional interior. Materials, lighting and finishes have been carefully selected to create a premium feel that meets today's expectations.

One of the key pillars is the reduction of energy consumption. Through a combination of advanced vehicle technology, aerodynamic enhancements and weight reduction, the VDL Futura 3 is more efficient than ever, achieving fuel savings of up to 15 percent, compared to the VDL Futura 2. This not only contributes to lower operational costs but also supports a more sustainable fleet.

Safety has been further refined in the VDL Futura 3. Equipped with the latest generation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), improved visibility, and structural reinforcements, the vehicle is prepared to meet the most stringent safety regulations.

Another key innovation is the completely redesigned climate system. It offers quiet and efficient temperature control, ensuring a pleasant travel experience in all conditions.

Significant efforts have been made to reduce repair and maintenance costs. Through smart engineering, modular components and improved accessibility of technical systems, the Total Cost of Ownership is significantly reduced, making the VDL Futura 3 not only innovative but also economically attractive for operators.
