Arval is more than just a company; it is a movement. Specializing in complete corporate mobility solutions, Arval manages an impressive fleet of about 1.6 million vehicles globally, with 29,000 of those vehicles operating on Brazilian streets since 1989.

BYD, on the other hand, has been a disruptive force since its arrival in Brazil in 2015. From the inauguration of its first assembly plant for 100% electric buses in Campinas to the recent launch of its line of photovoltaic modules in 2022, BYD is continuously redefining the limits of innovation. Its influential presence was recently recognized by the American magazine Times, which listed it among the 100 most influential companies in the world in 2023.

The Legacy Of Arval And BYD

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Amazon ants build underground farms, cultivate fungi as food, and even use bacteria to protect their natural plantation in the forest.

João-de-barro doesn’t just build a nest; it constructs a clay capsule with thermal insulation that withstands heat, wind, and rain.

China did not like the decision by the U.S. to place BYD, Alibaba, and Baidu on a list linked to the Chinese military sector.

Rare case in Minas Gerais draws attention after a sow gives birth to 46 live piglets in a delivery that surprised even those knowledgeable in pig farming.

While lunar missions are deploying increasingly larger robots, Japan has bet on a small SORA-Q the size of a palm, which transformed on the Moon and photographed the SLIM landing.
