Troller Veículos Especiais S/A
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Troller Veículos Especiais S/A (Troller) is a manufacturer of automobiles in Brazil. It was founded in 1995, in Horizonte, Ceará.
The name Troller is a non-official Brazilian Portuguese adaptation of the English word troll, probably mistaken with trolley. Small human-powered railway cars used to be called troles until recently -- and this may well be the inspiration for the name. The apparent English feel of the name is for branding purposes.
Troller T4 3.0 Turbodiesel is Troller's flagship. It has featured successfully in several rally races around the world, including the Paris Dakar Rally.
In 2005, a manufacturing plant opened in the African country of Angola to build the T4 for the African market.
Ford Motor Company announced in January 2007 the acquisition of Troller in November 2006, for an undisclosed price.[1]
