Volkswagen Truck & Bus  /  August 16, 2016

Volkswagen Truck & Bus has received a 30 unit order for Constellation 25.420 6x2 tractors, Constellation 17.280 6x2 rigids and Worker 17.230 4x2 rigids from refuse hauler Estre Ambiental (www.estre.com.br).

Aracaju, Brazil-based Estre Ambiental has one of the largest refuse truck fleets in Brazil.

"Volkswagen’s trucks are the best available for meeting the tough demands of the refuse industry. They offer the robustness required for this severe application," said Estre Ambiental Operations Manager Sergio Toledo.

With a GCW ratting of 53 metric tons, the ten new 420 horsepower Cummins ISL 9 powered Constellation 25.420 6x2 tractors will run on average 7,000 kilometers a month in waste transfer service. Modern 16-speed V-Tronic AMT transmissions combine the low maintenance cost of a manual transmission with the ease of automatic gear shifting, providing comfort, increased driver productivity and greater economy in operation.

Twenty Constellation 17.280 and Worker 17.230 “Compactor” Series trucks, factory-built with Planalto refuse bodies (www.planaltoindustria.com.br), will operate about 3,500 kilometers a month.

Offering high productivity and up-time paired with low operating cost, Volkswagen’s purpose-designed “Compactor” range of refuse trucks uniquely provide operators with a bumper-to-bumper factory warranty.

"The waste collection is undoubtedly an operation that requires constant improvement. And we are attentive to customer needs to propose constant innovative solutions, tailored and reflect the profitability of the business, "said Volkswagen Truck & Bus Vice President of Sales Ricardo Alouche.
