Croswell Bus Lines Adds Van Hool CX45 Coaches as Partnership with ABC Companies Continues
Croswell Bus Lines continues to invest in its fleet with the addition of new 2026 Van Hool CX45 motorcoaches through its long-standing partnership with ABC Companies, reinforcing the company’s focus on operating dependable, modern equipment across its transportation services.
A portion of this fleet investment was recently recognized during UMA EXPO 2026, where Croswell Bus Lines was presented with a commemorative $1.8 million check highlighting the company’s continued investment in its fleet and partnership with ABC.
Founded in 1921, Croswell Bus Lines is a family-owned transportation provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company provides charter motorcoach services, corporate transportation, university mobility programs, and shuttle operations throughout the region. Croswell also plays a key role in supporting transportation for the University of Cincinnati, including campus transit and athletic travel.
The new CX45 coaches will support Croswell’s charter and contract operations and include:
- Leather-accented passenger seating with cup holders and USB-A and USB-C charging outlets
- Modified contoured parcel racks with 15-inch and 23-inch onboard monitors
- Custom exterior paint and graphics reflecting Croswell’s fleet branding
Croswell’s relationship with ABC Companies dates to 1989. Over that time, the company has acquired more than 40 vehicles through the partnership while also working closely with ABC on fleet planning, financing, service support, and vehicle branding.
“Our focus has always been on running dependable equipment and delivering a level of service our customers can rely on,” said John R. Croswell, VP of Operations at Croswell Bus Lines. “ABC understands how our operation works and has been a trusted partner as we continue investing in our fleet.”
ABC’s Financial Services team also works closely with Croswell to structure financing that supports the company’s long-term fleet planning and investment strategy.
“Croswell Bus Lines represents the kind of partnership this industry is built on,” said Eric Reynolds, Account Manager at ABC Companies. “Their commitment to maintaining a high-quality fleet and delivering reliable service reflects the same values we prioritize in supporting operators across North America.”
