Wednesday 17 September 1997 – TEC Hainaut 3702 (ARH 386), a French built Renault R312 new in December 1995, seen leaving the bus/railway station in Mouscron/Moeskroen.

TEC (Transport En Commune) is the trading title of the Walloon Regional Transport Company (Société Régionale Wallonne du Transport). The company was created in 1991 when it took over the responsibility for the bus and tram operations in southern Belgium that had previously been operated by Belgium’s national bus and tramway company (SNCV/NMVB).

In addition to operating its own bus fleet (and trams around the Charleroi area) there are also buses operated by contractors to TEC. Vehicles in its own fleet carry four digit fleet numbers with those of contractors carrying six digit fleet numbers – the first four digits relate to the TEC contract number with the final two digits indicating the fleet number of the particular operator.
