Flamengo Adopts BYD Electric Bus and Leads Sustainable Innovation in Brazilian Sports. Sustainable Initiative Includes Charging at Maracanãzinho and Support for Various Sports.

Flamengo has become the first sports club in Brazil to incorporate a 100% electric bus from the Chinese manufacturer BYD into its operations. The official delivery of the BYD D9F model took place at the rowing clubhouse in Gávea, Rio de Janeiro, marking the beginning of a new phase in the transportation of the red-and-black athletes.

The initiative includes not only men’s and women’s soccer but also Olympic sports such as swimming, judo, basketball, and artistic gymnastics.

The adoption of the electric bus by Flamengo aims to provide greater comfort, safety, and efficiency to its 1,100 athletes, without compromising environmental responsibility.

The BYD D9F electric model has a body length of up to 13 meters and a range of 250 km per charge.

The silent operation and front and rear air suspension ensure a comfortable journey for passengers and the driver.

The motors integrated into the rear wheels feature electronic traction control, providing power and stability.

The disc brake system with ABS and energy regeneration contributes to safety and increases range.

Moreover, the low maintenance cost and reduced charging time make the bus a practical solution for the club’s daily activities.

A charging station will be installed at Maracanãzinho, facilitating logistical operations during training and competitions.

“Our athletes deserve this type of service, which, together with a manufacturer concerned with clean energy, helps reduce travel times, resources, and also pollution in Rio and Brazil.”

The action with Flamengo is not isolated. BYD has also partnered with Inter Milan, becoming the club’s “Global Automotive Partner.”

The agreement includes the delivery of 70 vehicles for management and players, in addition to supporting the debut of the premium brand DENZA in Europe.

The Chinese automaker is also an official sponsor of UEFA EURO 2024 and the UEFA Under-21 European Championship 2025.

These initiatives are part of BYD’s plan to establish itself as a reference in sustainable mobility in high-performance sports.

BYD Expands Its Presence in International Sports

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

The Chevrolet hatchback returns to the Brazilian market after seven years out of production: the Chevrolet Onix Activ will feature raised suspension, a 1.0 turbo engine with 115 hp, a six-speed automatic transmission, and a ground clearance of 201 mm.

Gepard 1A2: the armored vehicle that fires 1,100 rounds per minute and became a shield against drones in Brazil.

Brazil reaches historic milestone in solar energy: Sector surpasses 2 million accumulated green jobs and generates billions in the national economy even under market pressure.

The United States Army has an armored vehicle that reaches speeds of up to 100 km/h, capable of operating normally on different types of terrain and also on asphalt without causing damage; equipped with a 350 hp engine, it can transport up to 9 soldiers — meet the Stryker.

These living root bridges and ladders are over 700 years old and help indigenous people survive in one of the rainiest regions in the world.

The largest food company on the planet, JBS, has just opened a 4,000 square meter laboratory in Florianópolis to develop customized proteins that modulate muscle mass gain, immune response, and metabolic performance.

After nearly 30 bids and competition among industry giants, a Spanish company purchases one of the largest airports in Brazil for almost R$ 3 billion and takes over the management of Galeão in a concession that will last until 2039.

The car stored for 38 years: when opening the barn door, what appears is breathtaking and looks like a scene from a movie!

From sertanejo star to international investor: Ana Castela invests millions in a mansion in the USA, creates a themed accommodation in Orlando, and shows that the “boiadeira” also wants to grow away from the stage.
