Covering 280 square meters and measuring 4.35 meters in height, the Vale Truck is one of the attractions of the XXI Green Fair in Vitória, Espírito Santo (Brazil), an event themed on “Science and Technology – instruments for a sustainable world.” The attraction is a converted air-conditioned truck that provides visitors with information, entertainment and knowledge.
Using audiovisual technologies, the vehicle shows how mining is present in our everyday lives in an interactive and educational manner. Games with touch-screen technology, a collection of samples of the main minerals produced by Vale and a presentation of environmental controls at Tubarão Complex are some of the highlights for visitors.
The truck also has information boards with Braille translations, a wheelchair lift, ambient sound and computer terminals with internet access. In addition, there are XX LCD screens distributed around the walls showing videos about the environment, innovation, technology and health and safety, among other subjects.

Launched in July of this year, the Vale Truck is a way of getting closer to local people and developing the company’s image among employees, communities and public institutions.
