Brazilian manufacturer Marcopolo has expanded its global operations through strategic partnerships and specialized product launches.

In Europe, the company partnered with Volvo Buses to re-enter the coach market. This collaboration involves producing the Paradiso G8 body on the Volvo B13R chassis in Sweden, targeting long-distance and tourism sectors in Southern Europe. The model has already received orders in France, Italy, and Portugal, with deliveries expected in early 2027.

Simultaneously, Marcopolo has introduced specialized models in South America. In Brazil, a partnership with Mercedes-Benz led to the launch of the Ideale 800 Agrotech, a vehicle engineered for the agribusiness, mining, and cellulose sectors. In Paraguay, the company delivered Viaggio G8 1050 intercity buses to the operator Guaireña, marking the first vehicles in that market to meet the ECE R66. 02 international safety standard for rollover protection.
