IVECO BUS STARTS DELIVERY OF DAILY MINIBUSES TO THE SÃO PAULO STATE SECRETARIAT FOR THE RIGHTS OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

Wednesday 21st December 2022

IVECO BUS has been awarded by the State of São Paulo a contract to supply 530 DAILY minibuses (45-170 model) to the State Secretariat for the Rights of People with Disabilities. On December 1st, the brand delivered the first vehicles in a ceremony that took place at the Inclusion Memorial in São Paulo. The event was attended by IVECO BUS Sales Director for Latin America, Danilo Fetzner, by Aracélia Costa, State Secretary for the Rights of People with Disabilities of São Paulo, and representatives of public authorities. Other deliveries also took place in Bauru and Campinas.

 

The minibuses have undergone a sophisticated customisation process to meet the needs of the target public. Inside, three spaces were prepared with anchor points and three-point harnesses for people with reduced mobility who use a wheelchair. In all, more than 400 municipalities will receive vehicles that will be used by disabled people and in inclusivity actions.

 

“Accessibility is one of the main challenges of national mobility and, therefore, we keep on working to develop vehicles and technologies that support an inclusive transportation for all. The delivery of these reliable and proven vehicles reinforces our commitment,” says Danilo Fetzner.

 

A world reference in the passenger transport segment, IVECO BUS has been very well received in the Latin American markets with its wide range of vehicles suitable for different missions.

 

“Enabling everyone to move is a matter of necessity. That’s why promoting access to mobility for all is a core commitment for us at IVECO BUS. We are particularly proud that our DAILY minibuses, which have been designed and developed with everyone's needs in mind, will contribute to improving access to mobility for disabled people,” highlights Domenico Nucera, President Bus Business Unit, Iveco Group.
