By the end of this year, Correios will renew its fleet of 23,000 own vehicles that transport postal products and objects daily in the country. 
“This year we are going to work on renewing our automotive fleet. We had a commitment to renew 100% of our fleet in 4 years. Therefore, this year, we still have a considerable portion of these cars to be renewed”, said the president of Correios, Floriano Peixoto, to the program. Brazil on the agenda.
During an interview, Peixoto highlighted the record profit of BRL 3.7 billion in 2021.
To reach this value, the highest recorded by the public company in the last 22 years, a series of initiatives were taken, among them, the suspension of consulting contracts; changes in the appointment of state superintendents; review of major contracts; sale of real estate and the strengthening of the company’s relationship with other federal agencies.
In Peixoto’s opinion, the improvement in management was linked to the expansion of the degree of protection of the entire postal flow, as well as the reinforcement of safety devices for employees, units and operational routines carried out by the Post Office. In all, this process has consumed BRL 500 million in investments since July 2019.
