📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Cities announced, this Thursday (9), the acquisition of 206 new buses equipped with Euro 6 technology that will reinforce and modernize public transport in Minas Gerais, Ceara and Mato Grosso. The initiative is part of the Fleet Renewal axis of the New PAC, aimed at the private sector, and involves an investment of R167.8 million. The information was published in the Official Gazette of the Union.
Which cities will be served?
In Minas Gerais, the capital Belo Horizonte and the municipalities of Juiz de Fora and Uberlandia will receive, in total, 138 new buses.
In Ceara, the population of the capital Fortaleza will benefit from 45 new vehicles running around the city.
In Mato Grosso, residents of Cuiaba will have 23 more comfortable and less polluting buses at their disposal.
Sustainability and efficiency
More than a simple change of vehicles, the measure represents an important step towards cleaner and more efficient public transport. Although powered by diesel, the new models follow the Euro 6 standard, internationally recognized for its rigorous emissions control. This means that they pollute up to 85% less than old buses, as they have systems that neutralize a large part of the gases before they reach the atmosphere.
