Chinese Manufacturer Yadea Innovates With Autonomous Technology, Production in the Manaus Free Trade Zone And Affordable Prices in The National Market
During the Interlagos Festival in São Paulo, the Chinese giant Yadea presented its first autonomous electric scooter, which balances itself and can move without a rider, with commands sent via mobile phone or computer, according to the site Olhar Digital.
The technology is still in the testing phase and currently allows only small maneuvers (such as going forward or backward). An intelligent gyroscope ensures the vehicle’s balance, even without a driver. Tests are being conducted in China, Thailand, and Mexico. There is still no forecast for commercial launch.
Scooter Models Coming to Brazil: Keeness and Owin
While the autonomous scooter is being tested, two new electric models from Yadea already have a date to land in Brazil:
-
The 2026 electric Vitara arrives in Brazil and proves that Suzuki is not leaving: 4×4 traction, 184 hp, 61 kWh LFP battery, 293 km range, R$ 259,000, and a trunk capacity of 224 L.
-
Hyundai has unveiled the Boulder, a square SUV with a body-on-frame design, 37-inch mud tires, and carriage-style doors that seems to be made to take on the Ford Bronco and the Scout Traveller in the United States.
-
The Toyota Hilux is R$ 75.5 thousand cheaper and bets on the 2.8 turbodiesel engine with up to 204 hp and 50.9 kgfm to catch up with the VW Saveiro, which leads with 4,472 sales.
-
The new Renault Koleos has a screen exclusively for the passenger that is invisible to the driver, heated rear seats, and 29 assistance systems, but its Chinese competitors cost R$ 40,000 less and deliver more power.
