June 22, 2025. Volare, Marcopolo’s business unit dedicated to the manufacture of minibuses, will test its Fly 10 GV model, powered by compressed natural gas (CNG) and biomethane, in real-world operations in Brazil.
The vehicle’s development took four years of work and highlights Marcopolo’s continued investment in innovation and new technologies.
Through strategic partnerships, a platform and propulsion system were designed with features that contribute to sustainable and efficient transportation.
The engine, specifically developed for CNG and biomethane applications, in any ratio, guarantees an excellent power-to-performance ratio, resulting in operational savings and providing a reduction of up to 96% in particulate matter emissions and an 84% in greenhouse gas emissions.
The model has three fuel cylinders with a capacity of 360 liters, representing a range of up to 450 kilometers, depending on usage.
The Volare, powered by CNG and biomethane, features electronic systems that ensure greater safety and comfort, such as traction and stability control, and vehicle locking with the doors open.
During the tests, urban transport operators will learn about the advantages offered by dual-fuel technology (natural gas and biomethane), such as lower polluting emissions, noise reduction, and lower operating costs per kilometer traveled.
