IVECO aids in the reconstruction of flooded regions in Brazil with its Solidarity Cargo
23 Dicembre 2024 - 11:00AM
Turin, 23rd December 2024. IVECO, the brand of
Iveco Group N.V. (EXM: IVG) that designs, manufactures and markets
light, medium and heavy commercial vehicles, once again steered
support efforts for communities facing difficulties in Brazil.
Every December since 2015, the IVECO Solidarity
Cargo has travelled through Brazil with a tailored project that
improves the lives of people living in situations of social
vulnerability. This year the project focused on rebuilding cities
devastated by the floods that hit the State of Rio Grande do Sul in
April and May, severely impacting about 2 million people.
The initiative brought together IVECO people,
truck drivers and local residents to help reconstruct homes and
build hope through the power of community. The company donated
construction materials and furniture and arranged for an IVECO
S-Way heavy-duty truck to transport the donations from the Iveco
Group plant in Sete Lagoas (Minas Gerais) to the people of Rio
Grande do Sul. Two truck drivers took leading roles in the project,
leveraging their experience in transporting essential supplies to
the affected areas since the flooding began, valiantly helping the
communities while dealing with damage to their own homes.
IVECO’s efforts in Brazil and the Solidarity
Cargo project are aligned with Iveco Group's commitment to
supporting and developing local communities in the regions where it
operates, a commitment that is part of the Group’s wider
sustainability strategy. Iveco Group is present in Brazil with 3
plants and 3 R&D centres in Sete Lagoas, and a depot in
Sorocaba.
