Wallace Landim, president of Abrava, an association that brings together truck drivers, states that “it makes no sense to give incentives to renew the fleet if workers cannot pay”
RIO – The government’s announcement of a new truck fleet renewal program in Brazil still faces much debate and risks remaining on paper, like last year, he said Transmission the president of Brazilian Association of Motor Vehicle Drivers (Abrava), Wallace Landimknown as Chorão.
As reported by Estadao This Saturday the idea is to remove trucks over 20 years old from the roads. Last year, in the first attempt of the program, only 20% of the funds made available were used and, according to Chorão, until the government offers the conditions for workers to buy new vehicles, it will be difficult for the program to take off .
“One of the things we need to discuss with the government is that it doesn’t make sense to give incentives for fleet renewal and not make workers pay, so there is still a lot of discussion to be had,” explained the truck driver.
According to him, if the conditions are not created for everyone to participate, the program risks frustrating the category again.
“I think the renewal of the fleet, through MDIC (Ministry of Industry and Trade) not leave. If it were to start, it would be in force since July 14 last year, when the government signaled the incentive, allocated resources to renew the fleet and until now it has not left the drawing board,” he said.
