The Importance Of An Energy Matrix Less Dependent On Oil Became Evident To Many Companies That Depend On This Commodity

Last month, LeasePlan International organized a webinar to analyze the issue of commodities, which includes the automotive market, consumer behavior, and global supply development. The intention was to show suppliers and fleet professionals what the future of the global economy looks like, where renewable energy and fleet electrification can help them prepare for it. Check below for more about everything that was discussed:

Inflation is a concern not only for the Brazilian market but also for European and North American markets. Along with this, the supply chain is experiencing turbulence, with prices for raw materials like aluminum, nickel, and palladium soaring.

The Biggest Impact Is On The Automotive Market

There is also a lack of labor to complete services in the transportation sector. Therefore, the availability of components for vehicles continues to be a worrying issue, as in addition to semiconductors, the distribution of wiring harnesses is also affected.

How Countries Are Affected By Commodities At This Level

The increase in commodity prices signifies a higher risk of recession in many countries where interest rates remain high. The rising costs of vehicle parts and materials, combined with the demand for new vehicles, are leading to an increase in the prices of both new and used cars.

Moreover, the prices of oil and gas have skyrocketed, prompting the market and consumers to seek renewable energy. Thus, in Europe and North America, governments and private companies are looking for clean energy as the solution. This could provide the stimulus the market needs to accelerate the electrification of the vehicle fleet.

Consumer behavior has changed. Demand for services has fallen while demand for goods has increased in some parts of the world. This change has occurred due to supply chain issues and significant increases in energy and food prices, which have pushed inflation to higher levels.

Therefore, it is necessary to envision a scenario where fuel prices remain high for at least two years and to plan for the transition to renewable energy sources; that is, to electrify the fleet.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

While the USA goes to the Moon in search of energy, China silently explores an abundant stone on Earth capable of generating energy for the next 60,000 years.

Global organizations are sounding the alarm for 2026, stating that heat inside homes, schools, and workplaces could reach dangerous levels, exposing billions of people to a silent risk of illness even far from the sun.

For 80 years, paleontologists dismissed the fossil as a teenage T. rex — until an analysis of the throat bone proved it was a distinct predator, ten times lighter and with larger claws than the largest carnivore in history.

Removed 119 years ago from a cave called Stinking Air in Australia, a fossil was forgotten in a museum until a researcher realized it was a relative of the platypus three times larger than the current ones.
