IAV has been selected by Marcopolo as an engineering partner for the development of central vehicle systems. The collaboration with the bus manufacturer provides the development service provider with access to one of the most important mobility segments in South America. This is because buses are essential for daily mobility in large parts of the continent. Buses connect cities, regions, and people over long distances. Accordingly, the demands on vehicle performance, efficiency, reliability, thermal management, and durability are high.

Development of Cooling Systems

Marcopolo has a broad portfolio ranging from city and intercity buses to coaches and minibuses. The company's vehicles are used worldwide in public transportation and regional mobility networks.

The focus of the collaboration is initially on the field of Powertrain Engineering—one of IAV's key technology areas alongside the Software Defined Vehicle (SDV). Currently, IAV is supporting Marcopolo in the areas of combustion and electric drives as well as in the application and development of cooling systems.
