Currently, EcoRodovias already has 24 solar plants in full operation, spread across seven of its concessions. With the addition of the new 21 plants, the group promises a show of clean and efficient energy.

BR-135, which connects Montes Claros to Curvelo in Minas Gerais, is already a shining example with its six plants and 948 photovoltaic panels from EcoRodovias. The other plants are strategically located in regions such as Goiás, Rio Grande do Sul, and São Paulo, ensuring energy for toll plazas, control centers, and much more.

The Solar Initiative of EcoRodovias Is Not Just to Show; It Is Part of an Ambitious Decarbonization Plan

The goal is clear: reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet up to 74% of the low-voltage energy consumption of the concessions with solar energy by 2030. The rest will come from renewable sources, with the purchase of clean energy certificates (I-RECs).

In addition to lighting up the roads, EcoRodovias is also igniting local job opportunities. The company prioritizes hiring businesses and professionals from the regions where the plants are installed. And it doesn’t stop there; EcoRodovias already offsets 100% of its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions through the purchase of carbon credits.

Technology and Innovation, Chargers for Electric Vehicles

EcoRodovias is not just thinking about today, but also about tomorrow. The company is implementing chargers for electric vehicles along its highways, with 56 units available for free charging until the end of the year.

EcoRodovias is not just another highway operator; with the largest road network in the country, the company stands out for integrating important portfolios related to environmental, social, and governance practices.

This project is a milestone in EcoRodovias’ journey towards sustainability. Aligning with global decarbonization goals and technological innovation, the company demonstrates that it is possible to unite efficiency, environmental responsibility, and technological advancement on the roads of Brazil.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.
