The Electric Motorcycle Market Is Growing in Brazil Due to the Constant Rise in Gasoline and Ethanol and Also Due to the Prices of Electric Cars. In Addition, GNV Has Also Been a Great Option for Those Who Do Not Want to Abandon the Internal Combustion Engine

Being more economical, practical, and fast, electric motorcycles have been a solution for Brazilians looking to escape the high prices of gasoline and electric cars. Manaus holds 64% of this type of fleet, and according to Detran-AM, in the last two years, the number of electric motorcycles sold in 2019 has exceeded 18.5%, when 203.7 thousand were registered. After the increase in gasoline prices, two-wheeled vehicles have become a better option, especially for those who prioritize savings.

100 Thousand Electric Motorcycles Not Produced Due to the Pandemic

Marcos Fermanian, president of Abraciclo, states that motorcycle production could have been even higher, but production lines still operate at reduced capacity due to health protocols.

100 thousand units were not produced in the first quarter due to the second wave of the pandemic in the state. The market is expected to remain warm due to factors such as the use of electric motorcycles for delivery services, high gasoline prices, and high electric car prices. In order to meet the growing demand in the market, Voltz, a manufacturer of scooters and electric motorcycles, will begin production at its new factory in the Free Trade Zone of Manaus in the first quarter of this year.

Voltz’s Plans Highlight New Investments in Manaus

According to Voltz partner Manoel Fonsêca, what prevents Brazilian consumers from acquiring electric motorcycles or cars is a lack of knowledge about these vehicles. Hence, insecurity arises at the time of purchase.

The Voltz factory, which will receive an investment of R$ 54 million, is expected to create 200 jobs in the state and will have a production capacity of up to 15 thousand vehicles per month.

The search for electric motorcycles has gained momentum in recent months with the rising prices of electric cars and gasoline, and these vehicles remain one of the best options for those looking to save on mobility since the cost of refueling is quite low.

Voltz’s Plans Highlight New Investments in Manaus

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

Why are people parking hundreds of telescopes worth more than $10,000 in the middle of nowhere?

New Xiaomi device heats water in 3 seconds, automatically makes ice cubes, and also allows temperature adjustment via smartphone between 40°C and 90°C.

American donated US$ 5,000 to a Chinese farmer to plant trees in the desert, and decades later the money turned into a forest with more than 50,000 trees.

The United States purchased for $125 million a ship that Shell used for drilling oil in the Arctic, spent another $25 million refurbishing it, and renamed it Storis because the largest economy on the planet can no longer build an icebreaker on its own.

Carnivorous dinosaur in China left footprints at just 1 km/h and surprised researchers in the field with more than 5,000 tracks preserved for over 100 million years.

Forget the basic popular car: used sedans like Passat CC, Kia Cerato, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Lancer, and Volvo S60 show that it’s still possible to buy more performance, comfort, and technology for less than many new compacts.

Used Honda Civic: 3 versions of the Japanese sedan with naturally aspirated engines of up to 155 hp, fuel consumption of up to 13.8 km/l, robust automatic transmission, and a reputation for reliable mechanics still dominate the used car market in Brazil.

Toyota Hilux becomes a ‘cargo truck’: automaker declares a new era for the pickup with greater capacity, reinforced chassis, 2.8 turbodiesel engine, raised suspension, 1,525 kg load capacity, and targets Ford Ranger Super Duty, which tows an impressive 4,500 kg.
