2024-10-03 Recently, Expresso Maringá do Vale and Joseense Transporte de Passageiros, traditional Caio clients, purchased 20 new Apache Vip buses, fifth generation, to renew their fleets, which already include other Caio urban bus models.

The Apache Vip model acquired will operate in the municipal public transport in São José dos Campos (SP), a city with approximately 700 thousand inhabitants, located in the Paraíba Valley, which stands out for its infrastructure and for having several industrial plants.

From the 20 buses purchased, 18 are of Joseense Transporte de Passageiros and have been customized in gray and orange colors. The other two units are of Expresso Maringá do Vale and have been manufactured in gray and green colors. Other external and internal characteristics of the buses have been standardized for both operators.

Rogério Leone, Sales Representative of Caio in the region, highlights the existing partnership between Caio and the companies: “It results from the development of a close relationship with the client, enabling customized, precise and reliable service, which drives new acquisitions.”
