In mid 1989, Rontan developed a prototype of Opala vehicle for the Military Police of São Paulo, which constituted a landmark in its activities: the Special Vehicles division:
The support for the artifacts development have already been optimized at that decade, through the installation of non-ferrous materials pressure Foundry, which would later become FBA – Fundição Brasileira de Alumínio. |
