Claudio Camargo Penteado, MAFI do Brazil’s CEO, details that the tractor was designed to withstand this type of operation, where the starting and braking is performed hundreds of times per day. ´´The mechanical development and the robust structure ensure precise operation and longer equipment life, as well as greater efficiency and economy in the operations. Multirio´s new acquisition, performed more than a year after the first acquisition, is proof that the operating results are very good. Now the news is that the new terminal tractors come with the MEM (MAFI Economic Mode), an intelligent drive program which detects if the operation is with our without load. MEM shifts gears automatically up at lower engine revolution if there is reduced load detected. This leads to considerable fuel savings, environment-friendly operation and reduced cost of ownership.” says Claudio Camargo Penteado.
The MT25/30 model has the capacity to pull on its fifth wheel up to 30 tons and an increased GCW when pulling a trailer. It has a chassis with reinforced welding and steel that generates durability, and a driver’s cabin with ROPS/FOPS certification, two important European certificates that guarantee the safety of the operators in case accidents occur.
This reorder and other equipment that was recently purchased by Multirio have placed its container terminal on operation levels that are similar to Europe and Asia.
