📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Cities published this Friday (21) Selection Ordinances for the New PAC - Private Sector, focusing on renewing the urban public transport fleet. In total, there are 207 new buses to operate in four states, with the aim of reducing emissions, improving air quality and modernizing Brazilian public transport. The initiative involves an investment of around R184.3 million.
The selected vehicles include electric buses and models equipped with Euro 6 engines, considered the most modern on the market in terms of energy efficiency and pollutant control.
Investments for states
The program provides for the purchase of new vehicles in the following municipalities:
Ceara - R9.5 million will be invested in the acquisition of 10 electric buses that will serve the municipalities of Maracanau, Maranguape, Pacatuba and Redencao.
Federal District - Brasilia will receive 158 Euro 6 buses, totaling R 139.4 million.

Benefits of the new models
Fleet renewal directly contributes to reducing pollution and improving public health, especially in large urban centers.
Electric buses eliminate direct pollutant emissions, with less noise, offering more comfortable and quieter journeys. Euro 6 engines emit up to 97% less particulate matter and 99% less black carbon than older models, reducing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in large cities.
In addition to improving air quality, the new vehicles help to encourage the use of public transport, reducing car dependence and helping to reduce congestion.
