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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

Turkey is building a billion-dollar shortcut to channel billions of dollars by sea with a 45 km long canal, 275 meters wide and 20.75 meters deep, which promises to relieve the Bosphorus amid the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz.

The European hypersonic plane that seemed impossible: 300 passengers, 400 tons, liquid hydrogen, and a speed of 6,100 km/h to cross continents almost always over the ocean.

Brazil wants to change its level and for that it is putting R$ 396 billion on the table in a mega plan with 35 concessions, 23 auctions, 11,300 km of highways, 9,000 km of railways, and a promise to transform national logistics.

They said Milei was destroying Argentina, but new economic data, increased confidence in banks, and an unexpected market reaction are beginning to raise a question that few imagined hearing again in the country.

The Defense Minister stated that Brazil “is without defense,” admitted concerning military vulnerabilities, and observed tests with drones and new technologies that the Army wants to use against threats at the borders.

Fortaleza gained a track that leads directly from the subway to the airport’s doorstep, a VLT branch that changes the way passengers arrive for boarding.

Ford discovered the secret: they just had to open Chinese cars to understand why their electric vehicles weigh more, cost more, and result in a $5 billion loss per year.

China gets tired and now wants to “retire” “zero gravity” seats in electric cars due to collision risks and targets feature used in BYD luxury models

Dealerships in Brazil are starting to bet more on Chinese cars after seeing margins of R$ 80,000, lower initial investment, and a market that could gain 2,000 new stores.

Brazil has never seen so many Chinese SUVs arriving at once, and 2026 promises to be the year of the definitive invasion, with BYD, GWM, Omoda, Jaecoo, GAC, and newcomer Lynk&Co launching models ranging from affordable compacts to luxury hybrids with over 400 hp.

Nissan sells “Kicks popular” cheaper than Kwid, Mobi, and C3 in Brazil; for about R$ 30,000 in conversion without taxes, Magnite looks like a compact SUV, with 16-inch wheels, 6 airbags starting from the Visia version, and represents an affordable Nissan that disappeared from Brazilian stores.
