With 417 km in length and a maximum speed of 320 km/h, the Rio–São Paulo high-speed train promises to revolutionize transportation between the capitals, reducing the journey to 105 minutes and moving billions in the Brazilian economy

Brazil is set to gain its first high-speed train connecting Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo on a 417-kilometer line. The project, led by TAV Brasil, has a projected investment of R$ 60 billion and an estimated operational start in 2032.

The initiative aims to transform transportation between the two capitals, reducing travel time to just 105 minutes.

99-Year Contract and Parallel Revenues

TAV Brasil has signed a contract with the federal government to operate the service for 99 years, without the need for bidding. In addition to building the lines, stations, and acquiring the trains, the company will be able to develop real estate projects near the terminals.

According to the magazine Exame, this extra activity could generate R$ 27.3 billion in revenue.

Ongoing International Negotiations

The company is seeking foreign investors to fund the R$ 60 billion needed for the project. According to CEO Bernardo Figueiredo, there are negotiations with groups from China and Spain, as well as interested Arab funds.

“In the end, we may close with one of the three or have a combined structure between the three,” the executive told Exame.

TAV Brasil has also requested that the project be included in PAC, the Growth Acceleration Program. The expectation is that inclusion will facilitate access to incentives and accelerate the timeline.

Economic Impact of the High-Speed Train and Job Creation

The company estimates that the high-speed train could add R$ 168 billion to the country’s GDP by 2055. The project is expected to create about 130,000 direct and indirect jobs, as well as generate R$ 46 billion in taxes during the same period.

Brazil’s High-Speed Train: Fast Journey, High Price

With a maximum speed of 320 km/h, the train will cover the route between the capitals in just 105 minutes. However, the ticket price is expected to be R$ 500 one way, totaling R$ 1,000 for a round trip.

Intermediate stops will be in Volta Redonda (RJ) and São José dos Campos (SP), with cheaper tickets costing R$ 250 one way.
