"A design has now been made for the new agricultural tractor, namely for a completely new open-field tractor. This design was made by design agency KesselsGranger. This originally Dutch office now operates from Belgium and has attracted attention in the past with futuristic designs of tractors and combines. The new look of the Goldoni is worth seeing."

Linssen Magazine | Linssen 55 SL AC Variotop®

"The Grand Sturdy 500 AC Variotop is now getting a real 'sister' in the SL series. With a length overall of 16.50 metres, this is the Linssen 55 SL AC Variotop®. The design of this SL was also produced in collaboration with KesselsGranger DesignWorks, and that is clearly reflected in the consistently implemented style. The clean, modern look with contrasting shades of grey in the saloon windows and Variotop wheelhouse really stands out. The rising waterline and bow shape also create the immediately recognisable 'Sports Luxury' look."

Lastauto Omnibus | Lighter is more beautiful

“"The design had to be very integral, conveying a sense of lightness and timeless elegance,” says designer Steven Kessels, who previously worked with James Granger on the Ebusco 2.2. "We had a lot of freedom and paid particular attention to efficiency and smooth lines and precision." Whether it's the striking front, which suggests a wing shape from front to back, or the extensive modeling of the lower sidewalls. "There are many details to the surface area not normally present on a bus," says Granger. This continues to the rear, where the two designers didn't have to consider built-in battery packs or a traditional engine compartment."

Boot Magazine | The next generation of Grand Sturdy 35.0 (AC and Sedan) is in the starting blocks at the Linssen Yachts yard in Maasbracht. In an innovative, fresh INTERO style. A style in which everything revolves around light and space

The flowing lines of the silhouette reveal themselves in the beautifully curved three-part window section with an extra large glass surface. These create a lot of light in the interior, so that the colour structure from floor to ceiling ensures an optimal spatial experience. This results in a maximum amount of daylight in the saloon.
