AUTO VIAÇÃO REDENTOR RENEWS FLEET WITH DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF MILLENNIUM CAIO

2024-12-09 Auto Viação Redentor, with over 65 years of experience in urban transport in Paraná, recently acquired 39 Caio buses, 15 of which are Millennium (ligeirinho [fast model]), two Articulated Millennium (express), 17 Articulated Millennium (interchangeable) and five Articulated Millennium (intercity), thus renewing the company`s fleet in Curitiba.

The capital of Paraná is renowned for its territorial planning, urban infrastructure and a transport system that has served as a model for various regions around the world. In addition, in September this year, BRT celebrated its 50th anniversary in Brazil and the city of Curitiba was the pioneer in implementing this system on Brazilian roads.

Jocemario Dartora, sales representative of Caio in the Curitiba region, points out: “It`s a great pleasure to once again serve this important company of the Gulin Group. Strengthening ties and establishing a partnership through the sale of Caio`s sophisticated Millennium V is beneficial for both parties and for the people of Curitiba”.

Millennium (ligeirinhos) and articulated (express) units have already been delivered.
