"This expansion of our partnership with Agrale represents a significant step for Equipmake and reflects the Company's move to generate higher margin product and technology sales. Supplying electric drivetrain systems for 50 buses is a major milestone in our joint mission to bring zero‑emission mass transit to South America. This growing success story reflects the trust Agrale places in our solutions and our shared commitment to developing a robust sustainable transport network in the region."
