Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus launched its electric offer in Uruguay. The e-Delivery truck is already in the company's sales portfolio in the country. Customers can choose between the 11 or 14 ton versions, which come with cutting-edge technology. The first unit already has a specific destination: it was sold to Coca-Cola FEMSA, which has also acquired the models to gain efficiency in its operations in Brazil and Guatemala .

"We are already from end to end in Latin America, from Mexico to Chile , offering our electric truck in seven markets now. The objective is to increasingly strengthen our brand's internationalization strategy, while at the same time advancing our goals of decarbonization", highlights Leonardo Soloaga , director of International Sales at VWCO.

The e-Delivery arrives as the electric truck with the best total operating cost in the Uruguayan market, as it has a greater load capacity, in addition to having high energy efficiency in its powertrain. Other points that contribute are the low maintenance cost and high availability for operation, thanks to the vehicle system, the guarantee of spare parts stock and the customer service points of Lestido, the brand's importer in the country, with highly qualified professionals. .

Continuous pioneering
e-Delivery is the first 100% electric truck developed and produced in Latin America, designed for the region's typical operating conditions. For its launch, more than 100 engineering tests were carried out and the company became a pioneer in the approval of electric trucks in the Andean region, with its models capable of reaching 4 thousand meters of altitude.

Intelligent and safe, the vehicles are the result of investments of R$ 150 million, the equivalent of more than 400 thousand kilometers of tests and the full dedication of a team made up of 150 Brazilian engineers and technicians.
