REFROTA: Fleet Renewal for Public Transport Companies
A federal financing line for urban public transport operators. With it, public and private companies finance the purchase of new vehicles and technologies without compromising operating cash flow.
The program covers conventional buses, Euro 6 vehicles (Proconve P-8), electric buses, charging systems, onboard equipment, electronic ticketing and other operation modernization solutions.
Which companies can participate?
Operators with a concession or permit to run public transport services, whether municipal, intermunicipal or interstate urban services. There are technical and regulatory criteria to meet, but most active companies already qualify.
Practical benefits of the program
- Newer fleet with lower maintenance costs
- Vehicles compliant with current environmental and accessibility requirements
- Better operational performance and fewer unscheduled stops
- Financing conditions better than market rates

The fleet as a business decision
Renewing the fleet has a direct impact on maintenance costs, compliance with concession contracts and the relationship with the granting authority. Companies that postpone this decision accumulate technical and regulatory liabilities that become increasingly expensive to resolve.
Grupo Vértice has structured fleet renewal projects that raised more than R$ 15 million with BNDES. If you want to understand how this can work for your company, get in touch.
