Bus manufacturer Caio is visited by FDE authorities
2019-11-08Authorities from the FDE (Education Development Foundation) paid a visit to one of the production sites of Caio, the largest Brazilian urban bus manufacturer, located in Botucatu (SP). The presence of Mr. Leandro Damy, FDE’s President since early 2019, is highlighted. The professional relies on a broad experience in the education area, particularly for the work conducted with the National Educational Development Fund (FNDE).
During the activities the visitors saw the manufacturing plant facilities and the vehicles in production, which will benefit the cities by means of the “Programa Caminho da Escola” [School Bound Program].
The 301 buses purchased are model F2400 - ORE2, school version, with bodywork assembled on a Mercedes-Benz LO-916 R chassis. They are fitted with a locking axle and a high rear swing, what facilitates the transport both in urban zones and difficult-to-access rural areas.
The F2400 school buses are capable of transporting 44 seated students plus the driver. The fully accessible vehicles are equipped with MSD (Movable Seat Device), allowing up to two disabled individuals (PCD) to be transported.
The passenger seats are fully upholstered and rely on a notebook holder, offering comfort and practicality. Original chassis door blockers and emergency windows ensure safety.
