SYMBOL OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION, IT BECAME A TEST AND STUDY LABORATORY

In 1979, after tests and concessions of the first patents (by England, followed by Japan, Germany, United States, France, Brazil, amongst others), Empresa Brasileira de Transportes Urbanos (EBTU) became a partner in the project and, in the same year, the agreement between Coester and EBTU was signed. In 1983, the construction of the Pilot Line began. With approximately 1 kilometer, Aeromovel made its first trip in Porto Alegre (downtown) along Avenida Loureiro da Silva. In 1986, the project was concluded, through financing from the Financier of Studies and Projects (FINEP).
