New VDL Futura for PSV Eindhoven

The new team coach for PSV Eindhoven is a VDL Futura FHD2-139. On 15 January 2015 VDL Bus & Coach handed over this coach to BBA Tours B.V./de Mol-Pelikaan and at the same time presented it to the players and staff of PSV. BBA Tours B.V./de Mol-Pelikaan will provide the transport for PSV for the coming five years. “We are very proud that PSV has once again chosen to travel in a VDL coach. As an Official Partner it should be clear that VDL Groep is a strong supporter of PSV. And such a great club naturally deserves a great coach,” said Jennifer van der Leegte, deputy director VDL Groep. BBA Tours B.V./de Mol-Pelikaan is also very pleased and proud of the agreement with PSV. “We are a very experienced player in the transport field, including for sports clubs, and offer the right solution for safe transport.
