 The French manufacturer Heuliez was taken over by Renault fully in 1998, having been 37.5% owned by both Renault and Volvo at that point. By August 2006 when this GX 317 GPL, 8021, was photographed heading for the Gare de L'Est Renault and Heuliez had both been adsorbed into the Italian based Iveco. |
 |
 GX 317 GPL 8032 is seen with the rear of 8034 heading the other way. |
|
 Heading in the opposite direction on the 30 to 8021 is 8017 squeezing along one of the cities many narrow one way streets. The GX 317 GPL was based on the Renault Agora S, 57 were delivered in 1999. |
|
No, it is not the Arc de Trump, but of course the Arc de Triomphe. An unidentified Heuliez is navagating it in August 2006.

 This night view shows the fussy rear end design of the GX 317 GPL on 8042. |

 Seen when still quite new and before dawn in October 2015 is this GX337 HYB, 1160 (DT-659-NG), part of a batch of 251, 1109-1359.

 Forward to August 2025 and much in evidence were the new GX 337 ELEC electric buses with pastel blue replacing pale jade green as the relief colour. Over one thousand were in service. This is 1571 (GG-291-CQ) of 2022, also in company of an opentopper, TOOTBus DY-92-MG, a MAN with UNVI Urbis bodywork.

 Still going strong in 2025 were the GX 337 HYB with 1219 (DY-257-WX) of 2016 crossing the Seine near Notre Dame, with another Big Bus Anhui Ankai in pursuit, electric E23 (GX-575-NT).

Picture ref D8908 |
 Loading at the Arc de Triomphe in evening rush hour was 2020 GX 437 Hybride 4417 (FO-268-L). RATP's services leave a lot to be desired at rush hour, with long unscheduled gaps in headways.
