Company conquers new customer in the country
Marcopolo will provide nine buses to Union des Transports de Bouake, a road transport operator in Abidjan, the largest and most economically important city on Ivory Coast. The units of the Viaggio 1050 model will be used in charter services and interstate routes throughout the country.
According to Ricardo Portolan, export manager at Marcopolo, since last year the company has been working to conquer new markets and clients in several countries. "This is another important partnership in our business expansion strategy abroad and represents the first acquisition of Marcopolo buses by Union des Transports de Bouake", explains the executive.
The Marcopolo Viaggio bus has a modern and bold look, offering high standards of comfort and safety for users and low maintenance for the operator. The vehicle is also the most economical of its category, with lower operating costs, as well as reduced fuel consumption and high resale price.
Designed for intercity transportation and charter services, the Viaggio 1050 is equipped with Executive 865 seats and has the capacity to carry 62 seated passengers. The vehicle has a Volvo B270F chassis and has two access doors, an audio-visual system with radio and differentiated internal configuration with 3x2 armchairs.
