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 giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

GAC Aion UT lands in Brazil for R$ 135,990 as the most affordable electric car in the country with over 200 hp, surpasses BYD Dolphin in size, features a 360 camera, and offers up to 310 km of range to challenge Chinese rivals.

Mitsubishi confirms the triumphant return of a car beloved by Brazilians that was discontinued after almost 40 years, based on the Triton, 4×4, and targets rival Toyota Land Cruiser in a plan of 13 SUVs.
