The financial results of Traton - which includes the MAN, Scania, International, and Volkswagen Truck & Bus brands - remained steady compared to the year before, with sales revenues improving by just 1% from EUR46,872m in 2023 to EUR47,473m in 2024.

Since 2018, VWCO has had a dedicated electric vehicle team.

The VW Constellation 33.260 8x4 truck is an addition to VWCO's Constructor family of vehicles.

The model is positioned in the heavy-duty intermediate segment, expanding the brand’s offering among the 4x2 options.

This achievement results from the involvement of almost the entire supply chain, VWCO said, with 90% of its suppliers already involved in this procedure.

In the first nine months of the year, Fenabrave reported a total of 369 electric trucks (all brands) were registered in Brazil.

VW says that its dealership network is already fully equipped to support the e-Volksbus, which shares many components with the e-Delivery truck platform.

The order includes two e-Delivery trucks for Coca Cola FEMSA.

The vehicle, a Constellation 31.320 6x4, was acquired by agricultural transportation and logistics company, Cooproharina through Avelino Abreu SAS, VWCO's importer in the country.

The consortium claims that the lithium-ion battery enhanced with Niobium, is an unprecedented innovation in the global automotive industry, offering ultra-fast charging capabilities to achieving full charge in just 10 minutes.

Almost one year on from pilot production, May 2024 saw VWCO in collaboration with Volkswagen Argentina start series production of four truck models and a bus chassis in Argentina.
