The new fleet consists of 15 Higer Azure electric city buses.

Higer imports buses to South America via a JV in Brazil.

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.

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.
