Troller Factory May Be Transferred to Pecém Port Due to Graphene Production

The Troller, That Is Targeted by a Paulista Group, May Be Transferred to the Port of Pecém, Where There Is Good Graphene Production

Negotiations for the sale of the Troller are already at advanced levels, and the potential buyer is already considering bringing operations to Ceará. However, for this to happen, the transfer of the Troller factory to the Port of Pecém will be necessary due to the graphene.

Understand the Reason for the Factory Transfer to the Port of Pecém

The potential recipient of the Troller factory is the Export Processing Zone (ZPE), which is currently located in Horizonte. The reason is that the group interested in Troller is linked to the production of wind turbine blades. The interest in the ZPE arises due to the ease of installing a graphene production line, which is extracted from graphite, found in the Baturité Massif, in the Aracoiaba region.

Graphene would be produced in the same factory as Troller, at the Port of Pecém, for application in wind turbine towers, which support the turbine blades.

Executives from the company interested in the automaker met with Ceará authorities to explore the possibility of transferring Troller to the Port of Pecém, which would centralize graphene operations and vehicle production.

Electric Cars at the Port of Pecém May Become a Reality

The automaker will need to do more than just the T4; thus, the production of electric cars at the Port of Pecém is already being discussed, expanding the business and allowing for its export to supply the Southeast and South markets.

Regarding electric cars, there is nothing certain about the group’s investments, but due to graphene production, it is possible to manufacture a lighter steel than normal and up to 100 times stronger, which could be used in parts of the cars.

Get to Know Troller

Founded in 1997 in Brazil, in the city of Horizonte, Troller is always attentive to the environmental and social challenges of the country and actively participates in both areas. In 2009, the automaker carried out the Expedition Brazil Better, which traveled throughout Brazil delivering food, school materials, medical care, and health lectures to the most remote areas of the Brazilian territory.

Although founded in 97, the company began designing its first vehicle in 94, which was refined, and its first units were sold to rally drivers.
