Bus dealer ABC Companies will feature its latest product offerings during the upcoming ABA Marketplace, which will take place in Reno, Nevada, this January 10-13. ABC is the exclusive distributor of Van Hool motorcoaches, which includes new and used models. The company also offers parts and service at their locations nationwide.
This year also marks the centennial of the American Bus Association, which was founded in 1926 and is among the oldest continuously operating associations dedicated to the industry. The association holds its annual Marketplace in a new city every year, with Reno being the latest stop.
The 45-foot CX45 can seat up to 56 passengers
ABC’s booth 31 will transform into an interactive virtual showroom that highlights the company’s latest products, services and innovations. According to the dealer, the 2026 Van Hool CX45 is a standout for their lineup this year, which is designed to deliver the next level of comfort, safety, and fleet performance. Updates to the model include:
- 360-degree camera system for improved visibility
- Tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) for real-time safety insights
- Tail swing detection for collision prevention
- Be-Ge ergonomic driver seat for all-day comfort
- LHP telematics for enhanced fleet visibility and data-driven maintenance
In recognition of Reno’s iconic retro charm, ABC is adding a nostalgic twist to its booth experience. Attendees can meet with the ABC team, snap photos, and enjoy signature cocktails, including the Centennial Sour and Dirty Shirley.
“ABA Marketplace is where our industry connects, collaborates, and recharges for the year ahead,” says ABC CEO Roman Cornell, who is also on the ABA Board of Directors. “We’re honored to celebrate ABA’s 100-year milestone and share the innovations that continue to move our customers and our industry forward.”
