IVECO BUS accelerates decarbonization in Argentina

IVECO BUS continues to strengthen its growth strategy in Argentina with the completion of the sale of 77 vehicles, both CNG and diesel, to Transporte San José, the company awarded the public tender to operate urban transport services in the city of Paraná, in the province of Entre Ríos.

This operation, carried out in partnership with Overbus, the official IVECO BUS dealer in Argentina, and the specialized local bodybuilder Italbus, includes the delivery of 17 chassis BUS 17-210 G units. The order also comprises 50 chassis BUS 17-280 and 10 chassis BUS 10-190, contributing to the modernization of Parana’s fleet.

The 17-210 G model represents a new sustainable mobility solution for Latin America, leveraging the local availability of natural gas and offering operating costs comparable to diesel,” says Marcio Querichelli, President of IVECO for Latin America. “The widespread availability of fuel and the ongoing development of supply infrastructure in the region position the natural gas- and biomethane-powered buses as a relevant alternative to support the transition to decarbonized urban transport.” Fleet renewal and sustainable benefits for the city of Paraná

The introduction of the first natural gas buses in Paraná is a significant step forward for the city’s urban transport network. Equipped with advanced technologies, the new vehicles will provide optimal passenger comfort while significantly reducing pollutant emissions and enhancing the quality of life for residents. All units are accessible for people with reduced mobility, helping to make the service more
inclusive and sustainable.
