Another city in Brazil, this time a city with hot temperatures of up to 41 deg. C, Cuiabá of Mato Grosso State, has begun testing China’s Higer electric 12m low floor bus, the Azure A12BR e-bus.

Articulated, full low floor and with capacity for 130 passengers, the urban AzureA18BR is imported CBU from China and offers an average range of 270 kilometres.

TEVX Motors* is building a factory Pecém to be able to locally assemble the new electric buses for the city of Cascavel, Paraná State.

The Higer Azure A12BR is already fully approved by SPTRANS, the transport authority in the city of São Paulo. Local production planned with start of production scheduled for 2023.

The trials follow the announcement of a new manufacturing site to be built in Pecém.

TEVX Higer is the abbreviated name of a joint venture company between Chinese bus builder, Higer Bus and local Brazilian assembler, TEVX Motors Ltd to make electric city buses in Brazil.
