Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus production and export updates

Overview

Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus (VWCO) has achieved several significant production and export milestones. The company’s Volksbus division reached a milestone by manufacturing its 200,000th bus chassis, produced for a body by Caio Induscar. To support urban and suburban transit, the company introduced the 22.260S chassis, which utilizes a twin-steer axle configuration and a 260-horsepower MAN diesel engine to accommodate 15-meter bodies as an alternative to articulated buses.

Expanding its heavy-duty offerings, VWCO launched the Constellation 33.540 6x4, an extra-heavy off-road truck tailored for the agribusiness sector. This model features a Gross Combined Weight (PBTC) of 91 tons and a Maximum Traction Capacity (CMT) of up to 150 tons. It is equipped with a D26 Ultra 540 hp engine, structural chassis reinforcements, and an automatic height-adjusting pneumatic suspension system to handle rugged terrain.

In addition to its domestic achievements, the manufacturer is marking 45 years of international exports, having reached a milestone of 200,000 vehicles shipped to global markets. VWCO’s presence now extends to over 30 countries across Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
