What VAMOS LOCAÇÃO does

Vamos Locação de Caminhões, Máquinas e Equipamentos S.A. is a Brazilian heavy vehicle and equipment rental platform that operates three integrated divisions: Vamos Locação (rental of trucks, machines, and equipment across trucks, Linha Agro, Linha Amarela construction equipment, intralogistics, buses, and truck implements), Vamos Seminovos (sale of pre-owned vehicles through a network of 19 retail stores across Brazil plus operations in Mexico via BMB México), and Vamos Indústria (manufacturing of specialized vehicle solutions and components). The company was founded and IPO'd in 2021 on the Novo Mercado segment of B3 under ticker VAMO3 and is controlled by holding company SIMPAR. Its technology stack centers on a telematics-enabled fleet management system delivered through a customer portal (Portal do Cliente), a 24/7 customer support center, an integrated fleet controller, and the VAMOS Carbono Zero carbon offset program that finances certified environmental projects on behalf of clients. The platform is supported by a 5,000+ accredited workshop and dealership network for maintenance and a digital commercial layer with WhatsApp, phone, and self-serve portal touchpoints targeting enterprise fleet operators.

Vamos generates revenue primarily through recurring monthly rental subscriptions organized in three progressive tiers (Vamos basic, Vamos Mais with preventive maintenance and fleet controller, Vamos Mais Longe premium full-service including corrective maintenance, towing, tire management, and driver training), supplemented by one-time used vehicle sales through its Seminovos division and a subscription add-on for carbon offset services. Customers are served through a direct enterprise field-sales motion across four primary verticals — agribusiness, construction and mining (yellow line), intralogistics, and logistics and transportation — with buses as a secondary segment. Its commercial roster of more than 1,500 enterprise clients spans Brazilian agribusiness majors (Amaggi, Tereos, Raízen, BRF, Suzano), beverage and consumer goods producers (Ambev, Minalba, Camil), automotive and tire manufacturers (Volkswagen, Dana, Goodyear, Prometeon), logistics operators (DHL, Mercado Livre, MSC), energy and fuel distributors (Ipiranga, Enel, Light, Ultragaz), and major retailers (GPA, Droga Raia), giving Vamos diversified revenue exposure across the Brazilian real economy. In FY2025 the company reported total revenue of R$ 5.8 billion (+22% year-over-year), rental revenue of R$ 4.1 billion (+12%), EBITDA of R$ 3.6 billion, and an active fleet of over 54,000 assets.
