The Caio bus model is the 41-seat Millenium urban model (which, when exported is called Access), were exported as semi-knocked-down (SKD) kits from Caio’s premises in Botucatu to Volvo’s premises in Cd Obregón, Son, México in December 2020, where they were then assembled with the technical support of Caio professionals. They are due to start operations the first quarter of 2021. These Access buses follow an order of 30 units delivered to RTP by Caio early last year.
