Posada has been involved with Marcopolo - Superpolo for more than 20 years . He has managed different departments in the company , and in December 2014 he was appointed as the general manager .
In September 2013 , Superpolo deployed the first hybrid buses for Bogota ’ s public transportation system , a batch of 22 units equipped with a Volvo B215 RH chassis , operated by GMovil . This combination of an electric and diesel fueled motors has lessened both noise and carbon dioxide emissions .
“ We are preparing to increase our production of hybrid vehicles , we have already built prototypes to be ready when demand for these increases ,” Posada added .
There are already some hybrid vehicles in Colombia ’ s roads and streets , but it is expected that government transportation and health agencies demand for an increase in eco-friendly vehicles during the short term .
To meet this demand , Superpolo is already working on strengthening its supply chain via other Marcopolo facilities in the continent , precisely with the Mexico , Argentina and Brazil plants , thus sharing the corporation ’ s global suppliers .
“ We are part-taking in regional tech developments from macro-suppliers such as 3M , Sika , Eceme and others , easing their new technology deployments into other countries ,” Posada stressed .
