Billion-Dollar Investment And Sustainable Innovation From Volkswagen Promise To Transform The National Automotive Market

Volkswagen announced a historic milestone for the Brazilian automotive industry: the production of hybrid cars in the country will begin in 2025. This step is part of a investment of R$ 16 billion until 2028, consolidating the manufacturer’s commitment to sustainability and technological innovation, according to News Motor.

Main Highlights Of Volkswagen’s Hybrid Car Project

Production Plants

São Carlos (SP): Production of the 1.5 TSI Evo engine.
São Bernardo do Campo (SP): Development of the MQB Hybrid platform.

Hybrid Technology

Volkswagen’s hybrid cars will feature the eTSI system, a mild hybrid of 48 volts already used in Volkswagen models in Europe.
Greater energy efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, and lower emissions of pollutants.

1.5 TSI Evo: Cutting-Edge Technology

The 1.5 TSI Evo engine will be the heart of this new line of hybrid cars. As part of the EA211 family, it is an evolution of the 1.4 TSI engine and brings several innovations:

Variable Geometry Turbocharger: Improves efficiency, especially at low revs.
Miller Cycle: Ensures greater fuel efficiency.
Active Cylinder Deactivation: Optimizes performance under different driving conditions.

In Europe, the engine is approved for 150 hp and 25.5 kgfm of torque, figures that may be exceeded in the national flex version.

1.5 TSI Evo: Cutting-Edge Technology

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
