Marcopolo Mexico has delivered the first fully electric Attivi bus from an order for 45 that will be supplied to the city of Monterrey, in the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. The handover ceremony took place at the Government Palace of Nuevo León and was attended by Governor Samuel García.

“Actively participating in actions for the decarbonisation of transport around the world demonstrates Marcopolo’s leading role in the search for sustainable and efficient mobility. We already produce and supply vehicles powered by renewable and sustainable fuels in several countries, such as Brazil, Australia, Chile, China and Uruguay, among others,” said CEO of Marcopolo André Armaganijan.

The buses have a low-floor Yutong chassis, are 13 metres long and have an air conditioning system, a security camera and a wheelchair access ramp.
