Additional Notes
- The VDL (Bova/Berkhof) Bus & Coach chassis DB250 Euro 3 carries a cooling system capacity of 50 liters, which places it among the larger coolant fills typical of full-size coach and bus powertrains where extended thermal management is required.
- Both TB2175 Euro 3 variants, whether fitted with the DAF PE 183C or the DAF PE 228C engine, share an identical cooling system capacity of 40 liters, despite the difference in engine designation between the two configurations.
- The 10-liter difference between the DB250 Euro 3 at 50 liters and the TB2175 Euro 3 variants at 40 liters reflects a meaningful distinction in cooling circuit volume, which in heavy vehicle applications generally corresponds to differences in engine displacement, radiator sizing, or auxiliary heating circuit integration.
- All three configurations carry a normal use condition designation, meaning the stated capacities apply to standard operating environments rather than severe-duty or first-fill scenarios.
- The DB250 Euro 3 spans the 2003-2008 model years, while both TB2175 Euro 3 variants are associated with a starting year of 2008, indicating a generational overlap at that year between the two chassis lines within the coolant specification data.
