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 concepts. 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 operation traded approximately 2,100 units, especially urban models, provided to operators in many countries in the Americas.
