The Enel Group Company, Enel X, Partnered with Banco Itaú for a Pilot Project of Electric Cars

Considering that Enel X has significant expertise in the electric mobility sector, Banco Itaú has established a new partnership with the Enel Group company for an electric car sharing service in the country. The vehicles offered include the BMW i3, JAC iEV40, Jaguar I-Pace, and Nissan Leaf.

Partnership Between Enel X and Itaú May Help Consumers Change Cars Every Year

Since last Monday (June 21), residents of São Paulo could see the Vec Itaú cars, an electric car sharing service, circulating in the streets of Greater São Paulo. The system is similar to the one already provided by the bank, known as Bike Itaú bicycles.

According to the bank, which partnered with Enel X, in this first phase, approximately 500 Itaú employees will have access to the Jaguar I-Pace, JAC iEV40, and BMW i3 electric cars, which were already planned for the service launch at the end of last year.

Words from the Itaú Unibanco Director

According to the Itaú Unibanco director, the world is constantly transforming, and the way people move around in cities is also changing. He states that the bank will add value through an innovative, safe, technological, and sustainable experience, also stimulating the electric car market in Brazil.

To use the vehicles, an initial fee and a cost per minute will be charged, but the prices have not yet been defined. The vehicles will also have internet connectivity to further facilitate the users’ journeys.

Enel X Promises Faster and More Efficient Charging Stations

The bank did not disclose where Enel X intends to operate the service; however, the Enel Group company offers a range of solutions with products, accessories, and systems for recharging electric cars. Among the solutions is the Enel X JuiceBox, a charger for sustainable vehicles that the company provides in various power ratings and compatibility with all types of vehicles.

The charger can be installed in residential, commercial, and business areas. It is a compact, high-power station with advanced control, fully portable and robust, with Wi-Fi connectivity. The product from the Enel Group company offers smart and fast charging, allowing real-time monitoring from anywhere.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

End of blind excavation: artificial intelligence detects pipes, cables, rocks, and voids before construction begins and promises to avoid million-dollar losses hidden underground.

Uranus and Neptune may not be the “ice giants” we learned about in school: new models suggest much rockier interiors, chaotic magnetic fields, and show that even the planets in our Solar System still hide structures that science cannot fully explain.

The United States is building an aircraft carrier that will never touch water: a ship that remains stationary in orbit, loaded with spacecraft, and opens its hull to release them in a matter of hours, ready to replace a downed satellite before the enemy notices.
