This coach is a familiar sight in the northern hemisphere, but was making its long delayed debut south of the equator. The coach was built in Macedonia at Van Hool's plant in 2020, but because of the COVID pandemic did not make it to Australia until April 2022. The EX16H model was numbered 136 (TV702A) and named "Super Star" and is on display at the Australasia Bus & Coach Expo that October by Van Hool's authorised Australian and New Zealand distributor, Patico Automotive. With the Belgian company declared bankrupt in 2024 and salvaged in part by VDL this coach may become one of a kind Down Under.
