BNDES Just Approved a Historic Financing of R$ 500 Million to Boost the Production of Flying Cars in Brazil, Marking a Turning Point for Urban Mobility in the Country.
Eve Air Mobility, responsible for the project, plans to build an innovative factory in Taubaté, São Paulo state, with a production capacity of flying cars for 480 units per year. Are we about to see the future of transportation literally take off?
BNDES Bets on the Production of Flying Cars in Brazil with Financing of R$ 500 Million
The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) has just taken a decisive step to transform the transportation reality in the country. In a bold and unprecedented action, the bank released R$ 500 million to support the production of flying cars in Brazil, led by Eve Air Mobility. The factory will be built in Taubaté, in the interior of São Paulo, with expectations to produce up to 480 aircraft per year.
With this initiative, BNDES is not only financing a new mode of transportation but also positioning Brazil on the international scene as a pioneer in future urban mobility. Eve Air Mobility already has an impressive portfolio of 2,900 orders from 30 clients in 13 countries, representing a potential US$ 14 billion in future revenue. Is Brazil ready to lead this revolution in the skies?

A Strategic Factory and an Innovative Technology
The chosen location for the factory, Taubaté, was carefully selected for its strategic location and robust infrastructure. The city is prepared to support an enterprise of this magnitude, which will directly contribute to economic growth and job creation in the region.
The aircraft to be produced will use cutting-edge technology, including eight rotors that allow vertical takeoff and landing, as well as fixed wings that ensure greater flight efficiency. All of this is powered by an electric propulsion system with dual motors, making the process more sustainable and safe, reducing operational costs.
The Fundamental Role of BNDES in Innovation
The release of financing of R$ 500 million aligns with the BNDES More Innovation Program, which, since 2023, has allocated R$ 8 billion to support technological development in various sectors of the economy. According to the president of BNDES, Aloizio Mercadante, the goal is to provide international competitiveness to Brazilian companies, raising the standard of innovation and ensuring that Brazil is at the forefront of new technologies.
This financial support is essential not only for the growth of Eve Air Mobility but also for positioning Brazil as a global leader in the production of flying cars, a sector that promises to redefine urban mobility and reduce congestion in major cities.
Perspectives for a More Sustainable Future
The arrival of flying cars in the Brazilian market not only opens new perspectives for transportation but also promises a more sustainable and efficient solution for urban mobility. The technology proposed by Eve Air Mobility allows the aircraft to be a viable alternative to traditional means of transport, with zero emissions of pollutants and significantly lower energy consumption.
The financing from BNDES places Brazil in a prominent position in the global landscape of technological innovation, demonstrating the country’s potential leadership in creating solutions that combine efficiency, sustainability, and safety.
With decisive support from BNDES and a solid base of global clients, Eve Air Mobility is poised to revolutionize transportation in Brazil. The production of flying cars in Brazil could be the beginning of a new era of mobility, where the sky will be the limit for innovation.
Do you think flying cars will be a common reality soon, or is it still something distant?
