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.

How Countries Are Affected By Commodities At This Level

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Innovative cell therapy keeps patients free of HIV for years after a single infusion of lab-modified cells.

While Brazil has left the Transnordestina Railway stalled for 16 years, China is boring 89 meters under the Yangtze River with the world’s largest diameter railway tunnel boring machine to open 14 km of high-speed line.

Paul Sereno and his team from the University of Chicago describe in the Sahara the first new Spinosaurus in 110 years with a saber-shaped bony crest: Spinosaurus mirabilis, nicknamed Hell-heron
