The electric car charging network of Great Wall Motors will be powered by the installation of solar panels in the city of São Paulo, while the second phase will include charging points in municipalities of other states besides SP, according to Dória.

According to the announcement, the company’s project also estimates the creation of a network of partners, startups, and suppliers, to create an electrification ecosystem in the country, contributing to decarbonization. Dória emphasized that the 100 charging stations for electric cars will be installed in the main municipalities of SP as a way to support consumers of the automaker’s electric vehicles, which plans to produce about 100 thousand vehicles per year in the state.

According to Pedro Bentancourt, CRO of GWM, as the company progresses with its consolidation project in the country, it adds new aspects that will ensure the success of its brand and products, and the expansion of the charging point infrastructure is important to support consumers in deciding to transition to a new type of propulsion.

In January of this year, Great Wall Motors (GWM) announced the start of production of electric and hybrid cars at its unit in Iracemápolis, in the interior of SP. The automaker claims it will be its largest operation outside its home country, with a production capacity of up to 100 thousand vehicles per year.

Offering electric and hybrid models that are still in development, the company will make its first launch at the end of 2022, and the expectation is that 2,000 jobs will be created by 2025.

GWM Plans to Become an Export Center for Latin America

According to Great Wall Motors, its goal is to become an export center for Latin America and contribute to the advancement of the Brazilian market, with intelligent and electrified technology in all its products.

GWM Plans to Become an Export Center for Latin America

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.

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.

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.

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.

A 250-ton transformer traveled 1,929 km by road in India on a slow and planned journey that demonstrates how the power grid relies on giant loads, detours, and impossible routes for regular trucks.

African country launched a $145 million project to rehabilitate 35 dams and drill deep wells seeking water stored for millennia beneath the desert, a plan that Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s government presents as a path to the country’s water sovereignty.

A 400-meter colossus powered by natural gas has just set sail from Shanghai to Europe, carrying over 24,000 containers. It is the world’s largest dual-fuel container ship and can cross the planet without refueling even once.

The largest highway concession company in Brazil already belongs to an Italian group, and now the railway sector may be next to receive billions in investments from Italy amid the progress of the Mercosur and European Union agreement.

A new study overturns the central idea we learned about planets and suggests that Earth is the exception rather than the rule; most rocky worlds in the galaxy may not have a core or mantle, just a single turbulent fluid extending to the center.

Almost no ship sails directly between South America and Australia, and the reason is a combination of the vast distance, winds that circle the planet nonstop, and the absence of ports along the way, leaving the South Pacific as a water desert.

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.
