Marcopolo’s
Gran Viale BRT bus
launched in Colombia
Superpolo, the joint venture between Marcopolo and
the Fanalca Group in Colombia, has launched its latest
modern urban bus in the country, the Gran Viale BRT.
Developed in Brazil for application in advanced urban
transportation systems in major cities, the model is now
also produced at the Colombian plant to be provided to
the Transmilenio BRT system.
The Gran Viale BRT bus family was conceived with
novel design, ergonomics, safety and efficiency con-
cepts. The vehicles concentrate all the experience and
knowledge acquired by Superpolo in providing buses
for urban public transportation systems in Colombia as
well as in other countries such as Panama.
Superpolo is one of Latin America’s most modern
bus manufacturers, and has over 1,500 collaborators in
a total area of 77,000 sq. metres. In 2011, the opera-
tion traded approximately 2,100 units, especially urban
models, provided to operators in many countries in the
Americas.
