Agrale recently won another bidding process from the National Education Development Fund (FNDE) to supply 400 Agrale Marruá AM200 MO School 4X4 minibuses. Built on the chassis of an off-road vehicle, they will be used to transport students in remote locations. Due to their robustness and ability to travel in the harshest conditions, the Agrale Marruá will make the journey from the students’ homes to school in adverse and hostile regions. The vehicles meet a demand from the Federal Government’s Path to School Program, of which the company is already a traditional supplier.
The Agrale Marruá is an unprecedented example of a vehicle born with military DNA and developed to operate in terrain that is difficult to access. It has been transformed into a school vehicle suitable for taking children from extreme locations in what is known as “Deep Brazil”, where there are no roads that are at all reliable or simply non-existent, to attend school.
The Agrale Marruá AM200 MO Escolar 4X4, diesel, Euro VI vehicle transports students safely and comfortably, with air conditioning and a Movable Seat Device (DPM) for boarding and disembarking students with reduced mobility. In addition to this vehicle, Agrale also participates indirectly in the Caminho da Escola Program by supplying other classes of chassis for school minibuses.
