TOTAL ACCESSIBILITY ARRIVES IN BRAZIL
Volare participates in SPTrans's unprecedented initiative to create a line in the city of São Paulo, at 605A / 10 - Centro Paralímpico - Subway Jabaquara, only with fully accessible vehicles. The manufacturer was chosen to supply its Volare Access model.This is the first time in the history of São Paulo that athletes, amateur athletes, employees and regulars will generally be able to come and go from the Brazilian Paralympic Training Center (CPB) using a municipal public transport line specially designed for the needs of people with disabilities and difficulties of locomotion. SPTrans has developed an innovative mini-bus configuration with complete, non-ratcheted accessibility to accommodate four wheelchairs with safety belts embedded in rails arranged on the floor of the vehicle.
For the municipal secretary of Mobility and Transport, Sérgio Avelleda, the initiative shows the commitment of the current management in making São Paulo a truly inclusive city. "Total accessibility is a priority of this administration and the new line, in addition to symbolizing an additional incentive for our athletes, is expanding the range already offered by the Department of Mobility and Transportation, with an increasingly accessible bus fleet, and affordable taxi, as well as greater ease to obtain the special single ticket. "



The president of SPTrans, José Carlos Martinelli, also stresses the importance of the investment, which will allow to receive four wheelchair users at one time in a single mini-bus of the municipal system. "It's an innovative setup and an experience that gives us great satisfaction because it will provide real improvement in the routine of people who need and have been making a huge effort to reach the Paralympic CT," he says.

"It is very important and rewarding to participate in this initiative and see that a product, such as Volare Access, designed to provide total accessibility, is being adopted in the most important Brazilian metropolis. They win not only the passengers, but the entire society, with an inclusive city, "emphasizes João Paulo Ledur, director of the Volare business.Volare Access, a unique vehicle model in the Brazilian market, has been developed to meet the growing demand and needs of Brazilian and international cities for fully accessible transportation and is both efficient in operation and maintenance.Volare Access is the first mini-bus with low floor, 'Full Air' air suspension and rear engine. Its full lowering system and access ramp make it easier, faster and safer for boarding and disembarking.
