Goiânia receives 70 new, less polluting buses.
Vehicles, which are equipped with an intelligent location system, security cameras and wheelchair lifts, will start operating on Monday (4); an additive is added to the fuel that reduces environmental pollution; the buses will run on 130 lines serving Goiânia, including the network of preferential corridors and the cities of Aparecida de Goiânia, Aragoiânia, Hidrolândia and Nova Fátima
247 - The Metropolitan Public Transportation Network of Greater Goiânia will receive 70 new buses with reduced pollutant emissions this Thursday, the 30th. The vehicles will be presented starting at 8 am at the HP Transportes garage, on Avenida dos Alpes, in the União sector.
The operation of these buses begins next Monday, May 4th, on 130 lines serving Goiânia, including the dedicated bus lane network, and the cities of Aparecida de Goiânia, Aragoiânia, Hidrolândia, and Nova Fátima. The vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts and an intelligent real-time location system.
With the arrival of the new vehicles, the safety of public transport users will be reinforced. Each bus has four monitoring cameras that will transmit information in real time to the Transportation Security Center of the Metropolitan Public Transport Network (RMTC) and the Public Security Secretariat. The public transport network already has 640 cameras installed on 160 buses.
Buses manufactured by Mercedes Benz, model Caio/Apache VIP-SC IV, use fuel with Arla 32 additive, a liquid agent that reduces nitrogen oxide emissions. This additive, which can reduce pollutant emissions by up to 80%, is regulated by Resolution 403, issued by the National Environment Council (Conama).
AdBlue (or ARLA 32) acts on the catalytic converters in engine exhaust systems, reducing the emission of nitrogen oxides. In reaction with vehicle exhaust gases, the product transforms oxides into water vapor and nitrogen, gases that are harmless to human health.
