Paulo Thiago Miranda, operations director of Flapa, said that “We are investing about R$ 34 million in this negotiation, which involves the purchase of the trucks and also the equipment. We chose the brand again for fleet renewal and expansion because our trucks operate in severe conditions, 24 hours a day, and cannot stop. In this sense, the Axor ensures availability through strength, robustness, and resistance, in addition to the embedded technology and support from dealers.”

Of the 60 trucks acquired, 50 units are dump trucks of the heavy-duty Axor 4144 6×4, 4144 8×4, and 3131 6×4 models. The fleet is completed with Actros 2651 for road transportation of equipment and other versions of the Axor 3131 and the medium-duty Atego 1719 for support operations, such as convoys, water tankers, and crane trucks. Deliveries are expected to take place by October.
