📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Cities fleet renewal program, Refrota, is an example of concrete action by Brazil to decarbonize urban public transport. The program was highlighted during the opening of the Development Station of the National Transport Confederation (CNT), at COP30, this Monday (10), in Belem (PA).
The transport sector accounts for around 47% of greenhouse gas emissions in Brazil, according to data from the Energy Research Company. Brazil is committed to bringing people back to public transport, but to do this we need to renew fleets, invest in BRT corridors, make public transport more comfortable and with less travel time, said the minister.
The minister highlighted that the New PAC invests R31 billion in urban mobility, with more than half (R16.4 million) for fleet renewal. With this volume of investment, it will be possible to purchase more than 10 thousand vehicles, in 190 municipalities, he explained.
Only the PAC 2024 selection made resources available for the acquisition of 2,296 electric buses, 3,015 Euro6 buses - which are less polluting - and 39 rail vehicles.
