Agrale, a manufacturer of trucks, 4x4s utility vehicles, tractors, chassis for busses, and stationary engines, is showcasing at the trade fair Transpúblico 2013 its new line of front-engined chassis for microbuses, midibuses and buses. The company’s highlight at the fair is its 17-ton MA 17.0 chassis, its newest launch for urban and freight applications. The new chassis will hit the market in July. Other highlights include the MA 10.0, the most robust chassis model in the micro category, which now comes standard with ABS brakes, and the MA 15.0, its flagship product in the midibus category.

The new MA 17.0 is now Agrale’s model with the highest cargo capacity. One of the models showcased at Transpúblico 2013 is configured in accordance with SPTrans standards for applications on urban bus lines in Greater São Paulo.

The main features of the MA 17.0 are its robustness and mechanics compliant with the Brazilian market. It can handle bus bodies as long as 12,500 mm and was designed to meet the most severe conditions created by intense city traffic and full loads. The chassis is equipped with a 6-cylinder MWM engine that generates 225 hp and 861 Nm of torque, allowing roll-on acceleration at low RPMs, which is ideal for use in congested city traffic. The model also comes with an Eaton FSO six-speed manual transmission, front and rear leaf spring suspension, power steering, 5,950-mm wheelbase on the standard version and gross vehicle weight rating (technical) of 17,000 kg.
