In a report, BTG highlights that Marcopolo was the main standout in an auction for the School Path Program for 7,500 units. It initially secured 5,200 buses, including minibuses, urban buses, and Volare models, plus indirect exposure via Volkswagen. There is still potential to add about 2,000 additional units depending on the approval of a disputed batch, which could raise the total to up to 7,200 units. The share achieved was approximately 70%, potentially reaching 97%, above the market expectation of about 50%. For BTG, despite a limited impact on 2026 volumes, the result reinforces estimates for the next year and supports the resilience of micro and minibuses. The reaction in the share price has already reflected part of this positive result, the bank’s analyst team explained.
