Gothenburg, Sweden- Volvo Buses is driving urban transport modernization in Nuevo León, Mexico, with an order for 200 unit of Volvo B8RLE chassis for Monterrey. In partnership with state authorities, Volvo is enhancing public transportation by expanding fleets, improving service quality, and promoting bus usage to reduce emissions. Scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2025, these buses will support the “Mobility Restructuring and Modernization Plan,” reinforcing Volvo’s commitment to sustainable urban development.
The Volvo B8RLE Euro 6 chassis offer exceptional fuel efficiency and operational performance, delivering environmental benefits by lowering CO2 emissions while ensuring comfortable and accessible transportation for passengers.
Mr. Rafael Kisel, Senior Vice President, Volvo Buses Mexico, said, “Volvo Buses stands out in the Mexican market, since we offer added value through comprehensive solutions. The order includes a maintenance contract at the Volvo Service Point located in Monterrey. It also entails Volvo Connect services; all this to optimize the management of the fleet and to ensure uptime.”
The 200 chassis will be produced at Volvo’s Tultitlán plant in Mexico. Of these, 136 will be fully assembled into buses at the Volvo Buses facility, while the remaining 64 chassis will be fitted with bodies by Marcopolo, a leading global bus body manufacturer.
As part of this comprehensive initiative, Volvo Financial Services played a crucial role, tailoring financing solutions to meet the project's specific requirements.
Monterrey, the capital and largest city of Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico, is the country's second-largest metropolitan area. The modernization of its public transportation system remains a key government priority, ensuring sustainable mobility for its residents.
