iFood And YvY Capital Initiatives Aim To Expand Access And Production Of 600 Thousand Electric Motorcycles Per Year By 2035

The electric motorcycle market is experiencing significant growth, with an increase of over 100% in sales in the 1st Quarter of 2024.

According to the report from Fenabrave, the entity representing vehicle distributors in Brazil, 3,452 units of electric motorcycles were licensed during the period, reflecting a rise of 104.74% compared to 2023, when 1,686 electric motorcycles were registered.

In March, specifically, 1,144 units were licensed, representing a decrease of 10.34% compared to February.

New Investments To Boost Production

In addition to the sales growth, a new investment fund is being created to accelerate the production of electric motorcycles in Brazil.

iFood and YvY Capital announced the YvY Business Factory FIP Fund, which has an initial investment of US$ 7.5 million.

The goal is to manufacture and sell up to 600 thousand electric motorcycles per year by 2035.

This project aims not only to reduce logistical costs but also to expand the use of sustainable vehicles in deliveries, contributing to electromobility in the country.

Electromobility And Its Benefits

Currently, iFood has over 360 thousand active delivery drivers and has been investing in electromobility since 2020 as a way to reduce operational costs and carbon emissions.

Electric motorcycles provide savings ranging from 30% to 60% in fuel and maintenance, plus they increase the earnings of delivery drivers.

It is important to note that combustion motorcycles account for more than half of the emissions in urban deliveries, making the replacement with electric motorcycles essential for more efficient and less polluting logistics.

Structuring The Electromobility Ecosystem

The YvY Business Factory FIP Fund will operate in various fronts, such as structuring industrial projects and supporting startups, aiming to create a robust electromobility ecosystem.

The fund’s E2Ws Class will specifically target two-wheeled electric vehicles, involving the participation of corporate and financial investors.

These investors will be able to act at various stages of the value chain, including the production of batteries, motors, charging infrastructure, and renewable energy.

In addition to environmental benefits, the initiative can also increase the income of millions of delivery drivers and motorcycle taxi drivers, with an estimated rise of up to 40% in workers’ income.

This could generate positive impacts in areas such as housing, education, and health.

The expectation is that the fund will reduce up to 14.25 million tons of CO2 per year, contributing to improved air quality in Brazilian cities and strengthening neo-industrialization and national technological development.

The Future Of Electric Motorcycles In Brazil

The growth in sales of electric motorcycles and the new investments in the sector reflect a shift in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and economical alternatives.

As more people adopt electric vehicles, the electric motorcycle sector positions itself as a viable and desirable alternative for the future of mobility in Brazil, promoting not only logistical efficiency but also a more sustainable future.

The Future Of Electric Motorcycles In Brazil

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

A single solar storm can knock out satellites, wipe out GPS, and leave 40 million people without power for months — and the transformers that protect the grid take 4 years to manufacture.

Sydney is erecting the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper — it’s 40 stories of hybrid timber that sequester carbon instead of emitting it, and the tower is expected to be completed as early as 2026.

While sanitation in Brazil serves only 55% of the population and discharges sewage into rivers, Singapore already recycles 100% of the water it consumes and has transformed sewage into award-winning potable water.

The Sagrada Família in Barcelona has completed its main structure after 144 years of construction — exactly 100 years after Gaudí’s death, and the tallest tower reaches 172 meters.

After mapping more than 200 million proteins, artificial intelligence enters the race to accelerate drugs, vaccines, and enzymes against plastic and CO₂, opening an era in which molecules can be designed on demand.
