Stellantis Maintains Growth Plans in Brazil for 2025, Bets on Stable Production and Opens Dismantling Center to Reduce Costs and Prices

Stellantis projects an increase in vehicle production in Brazil this year, even in the face of a challenging economic scenario. The vice president for regulatory affairs in South America, João Irineu Medeiros, stated that factors such as high interest rates make the market more complex, but the expectation is for progress.

In 2024, the automaker that includes brands like Jeep, Citroën, and Fiat produced about 900,000 vehicles in the country. According to Medeiros, the trend is that the Brazilian market, which currently absorbs approximately 2.5 million light vehicles per year, will reach 3 million by 2030, according to projections from major consulting firms.

Expectations from Stellantis for the Year

The executive emphasized that, despite caution, the company does not foresee a decrease in production. “We do not anticipate loss or reduction for this year. We do not yet know how much we can grow because we are in the middle of it,” he stated during his participation in the ESG Integrity Yearbook award.

U.S. Tariff and Limited Impact

Regarding the tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazil, the vice president said that Stellantis will practically not be affected.

This is because national production is primarily aimed at the domestic market, while only a small portion goes to Mexico.

“Our largest market is here. We produce in Brazil and Argentina and export to Latin America; we have no direct impact from this movement,” he explained.

Dismantling Center in Osasco

Another news from the company that owns Fiat was the inauguration of a dismantling center for vehicles in Osasco, in Greater São Paulo.

The space, announced last week, is expected to contribute to reducing Stellantis’ costs. Therefore, the expectation is that this initiative will also help lower the final price of automobiles.

Dismantling Center in Osasco

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.

With only R$ 50 in his pocket and a dream, the 26-year-old Tocantins native Willian Gomes left Tocantins and has already cycled over 4,000 kilometers towards Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina, without accepting a single ride in eight months.

Has the war with artificial intelligence already begun? The US Army tests armed robots in the Moroccan desert, uses drones with explosives, and showcases a system capable of reducing military decisions from hours to just 3 minutes.

The invisible flaw that protects banks, passwords, and messages may be numbered after a quantum experiment transforms imperfect randomness into numbers impossible to predict.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.
