Title: Anybody know a website or contact for Marcopolo in USA?
Post by: belfert on September 18, 2006, 05:50:40 AM
My Dina Viaggio has a body made by Marcopolo.  I know Marcopolo sells some buses in the USA.

Does anyone know a website or phone info for Marcopolo in the USA?  I need a part for my Dina and MCI would have to order it from Marcopolo.  I figure it would be a common part that a Marcopolo dealer might have.

I think Brazil is your best bet so far.  Maybe someone at Volvo can help.

Don't give up, I only put 20 minutes into the search.  Gotta work too.

Good luck.  Better brush up on your espanol.

Doesn't look like they have American representatives. That's kind of the risk you take when you choose a foreign made product that is not widely accepted in America.  I think some of the early eagles, LAGs, and Neoplans suffered from the same problems. If I recall correctly, the owner of the Odyssey double decker Neoplan had to send off the Belgium or someplace across the pond for some of his parts.

I tried that and didn't find anything.  That is why I wanted to see if anyone here knew.

Oh well, the part I need isn't critical and I'll just have to order through MCI.
