All Indcar minibuses are equipped with the AVM device that integrates a particular surveillance system to guarantee greater safety for passengers and staff on board. Drivers also have an on-board tablet with which they interface, on the network, with the ScuolaApp application to guarantee a better transport service.

The delivery is part of the important tender, awarded last November 25th, that the city of Rome has called for the school transport service. The tender was divided into four lots (not cumulative), in which each successful bidder had to put 40 vehicles into service. For its lot, Trotta procured 19 vehicles from Romana Diesel, purchasing the Indcar Mobi Daily, all on natural gas. Trotta is today one of the main “testimonials” of Mobi (City and School) for the size of its fleet in Italy. A combination, that between the mini Indcar and the Roman territory, which has deep roots. If we broaden our gaze on the Lazio, in fact, the numbers are impressive. In Lazio alone, more than 200 Indcar Mobi units in urban version have been delivered to date.
