IVECO BUS is strengthening its presence in the Brazilian market through its long-standing partnership with Viação Minas Gerais (VMG), a specialist in charter transport that is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. The brand’s leading customer in the country, VMG now operates nearly 240 IVECO BUS vehicles, including models developed on the BUS 17-280 and BUS 10-190 chassis, as well as the DAILY minibus. This milestone reflects the operator’s ambition to build a fleet entirely composed of IVECO BUS vehicles.

Over the past two years alone, VMG has added more than 100 new IVECO BUS vehicles to its fleet, underlining its confidence in the brand’s products performance and support.

“The market has evolved. Today, customers are looking for new-generation vehicles that offer greater comfort and an enhanced passenger experience. That is why we continue to invest in fleet renewal and in the continuous improvement of our operations, alongside IVECO BUS,” said Gustavo Moreira, Director of VMG.

For Mauricio Yamamoto, Head of IVECO BUS Commercial Operations for Latin America, the partnership exemplifies the brand’s close-to-the-customer approach: “The journey we have built with VMG reflects the way we operate in the market. We work hand in hand with operators to understand their needs and applications, developing solutions that match the realities of each operation. Growing alongside our customers is the clearest measure of our success.”

This flagship partnership highlights the strength of IVECO BUS solutions developed and manufactured locally at the Sete Lagoas industrial site in Brazil. It also demonstrates the brand’s ability to support operators over the long term, delivering reliable mobility solutions and dedicated service in international markets.
