Reference in The Automotive Sector, Volkswagen Studies Electric Car Production in Brazil, CEO Reveals in Interview with CBN Autoesporte.

Volkswagen is strongly considering the production of electric cars in Brazil, revealed the company’s CEO in the country, Ciro Possobom, in an exclusive interview for the CBN Autoesporte podcast. Although the manufacturer announced a robust investment plan of R$ 9 billion by 2028, the development of electric cars was not initially included in this project. However, the company is already preparing for the possibility, indicating that new investment cycles may be planned.

Economic Viability and Production Scale Are The Challenges for Local Manufacturing

According to Possobom, the economic viability of this project is tied to an annual production scale in the six-digit range.

He emphasized the need to sell approximately 100,000 units per year, and to achieve that goal, it is imperative to make the electric car accessible to the Brazilian consumer.

With a budget of R$ 9 billion by 2028, Volkswagen aims to launch 16 new products, including both new models and renewals of existing models, both domestic and imported.

Although Possobom did not reveal details about these launches, he promised news soon.

In January, Autoesporte magazine reported that Volkswagen was studying the nationalization of production for the ID.2 family in Brazil.

This line will include a compact hatchback and a compact SUV, both derived from the MEB Entry platform.

So far, the factory in São José dos Pinhais (PR) is the main candidate for producing Volkswagen’s first national electric car, while São Bernardo do Campo (SP) and Taubaté (SP) are also being considered options.

Volkswagen seems to be betting on the future of electric mobility in Brazil, keeping a focus on innovation and diversifying its vehicle offerings.

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

In China, the traffic light not only controls traffic, it identifies your face, predicts violations before the intersection, and can issue fines in seconds while exposing the driver on public screens.

The city that grew around steel produces millions of tons per year, operates with 3 industrial bases, and remains one of the strongest gears in Brazilian steelmaking.

92.62% completed, 519 km of tracks already installed, 41 tunnels excavated, and ongoing tests put the Chinese railway project of $10.63 billion in Malaysia just a few months away from starting operations and transforming the logistical axis between the two coasts of the country.

Wireless charging technology for EVs reaches 95% efficiency and allows vehicles to power electrical grids.

In April 2026, machines enter the vineyard and mark the beginning of the São Paulo-Campinas Intercity Train, 140 km/h, 64 minutes, and R$ 14.2 billion in works.
