IVECO BUS provides new public transport services in Grande Curitiba in Brazil
This renovation is a part of a larger plan to improve public transportation in Curitiba, which also includes building additional terminals and other infrastructural upgrades.
Vénissieux, France- IVECO BUS., which are increasingly common in Brazilian cities, are now included in the state of Paraná's capital city of Curitiba's new public bus fleets. Araucária Transporte Coletivo, Auto Viaço Antonina, Transporte Coletivo Piedade, Empresa de nibus Campo Largo, and the brand collectively received 39 units of the 17-280 chassis. This renovation is a part of a larger plan to improve public transportation in Curitiba, which also includes building additional terminals and other infrastructural upgrades. It emphasizes the company's well-known dependability for providing secure and comfortable passenger transportation. The IVECO Florença dealer will offer the post-purchase assistance.
The IVECO BUS 17-280 is already well-known in the industry for its performance, dependability, and great Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and it has the most power and torque of any front-engine chassis. With a six-cylinder, 280-horsepower N67 engine from FPT Industrial, this type was created to maximize passenger capacity and profitability. It also uses the down-speeding principle. With the help of this approach, the bus can run at low speeds while producing a lot of torque, increasing economy while lowering fuel usage and extending engine life.
The IVECO BUS 17-280, which is produced at the IVECO Industrial Site in Sete Lagoas (MG), offers daily transportation services to numerous cities around Brazil, including So Paulo, Goiânia, Manaus, and So Luis.
According to Rodrigo Corleto Hoelzl, the Managing Director of Melissatur Group, comprising Viação Antonina, Transporte Coletivo Piedade, and Empresa de Ônibus Campo Largo, it is crucial to have a product that aligns with the operational needs. He recognizes that the quality of the service provided depends not only on the longevity of the buses but also on the right technology. "Maintaining the quality of the service provided means always searching for products with technology tailored to our operations and adhering to the quality standards that have consistently defined our services. Choosing IVECO BUS reflects the vehicle's technology, along with its availability, the excellent service provided by the dealer, and the financial solutions offered by IVECO CAPITAL”.
Edson Vasconcelos, Director of Araucária Transporte Coletivo, underscores the importance of fleet availability and highlights other critical factors that influenced the company's decision to choose the IVECO BUS 17-280
In addition to the 39 new buses for public transportation in Grande Curitiba, IVECO BUS also provided 3 units of the 10-190 chassis to Melissatur and 16 units of the 17-280 chassis to Sharp, a company operating in Araucária, within the metropolitan region.
Danilo Fetzner, Business Director of IVECO BUS for Latin America said, "We provide the best in the passenger transportation market, continually attentive to the operator's requirements. This partnership succeeds due to the close relationship with our dealer network, which is ready to provide after-sales solutions for the daily operations of the depots.”
