"If we consider our competitive market, this is our twentieth truck market leadership in Brazil, a historic achievement for Volkswagen Truck & Bus, which has been in existence for 42 years. On buses, we also have a lot to celebrate: our chassis family completed three decades in 2023 and the Volksbus kept runner-up position since its launch. In addition, we continue with our internationalization strategy to strengthen exports and our global position", says Roberto Cortes, president and CEO of the company.

Volkswagen Truck & Bus continues to expand its negotiations with e-Delivery to promote the transition of the market to electrification. Still sold to niches and, for the most part, in smaller volumes, the model is prepared for the most different applications and can already be found from the north to the south of the country, with more than ten different operations.
"We will continue to be motivated to expand our offer with our diesel or electric models and we will have news for the market. By 2025, we will complete our current R$2 billion investment cycle to launch new technologies focused on more sustainable mobility, such as electric propulsion or improving energy efficiency with CO2 reduction. We will also continue to advance in digitization and connectivity for increasingly modern and efficient transport solutions”, reinforces Cortes.
