The Government of Santa Catarina Closes Partnership With General Motors (GM) and Joins Efforts to Encourage the Use of Electric Cars in the State

The Government of Santa Catarina and General Motors (GM) will work together in a task force to encourage and plan the use of electric cars in the state. The proposal is the result of a meeting between the company’s executives and the governor of Santa Catarina, Carlos Moisés, shortly after returning from the Climate Conference in Glasgow. Following GM’s announcement to establish a comprehensive electric car manufacturing policy, the government offered the state’s innovative and technological environment to plan initiatives that involve the transition process, utilizing new vehicle models that contribute to low emissions of polluting gases.

According to the governor, the technological environment has the agility to showcase simultaneous alternatives to the process. While one company launches electric cars, another is already presenting opportunities that may arise in other niches, solutions for the production chain, such as proper disposal and also reuse of components, for example.

This cyclical vision is essential when seeking true sustainability. Carlos Moisés stated that Santa Catarina is interested in promoting projects aimed at protecting the environment and that the state is already acting on multiple fronts for a fair energy transition to cleaner models. Furthermore, current public management indicators ensure legal security for investors.

According to the GM executive, from the company’s macro perspective, these are already considered powerful markets. Santa Catarina, especially, due to having an excellent base of suppliers and the commitments made to low emission and sustainability goals. Marina stated that the General Motors plant located in Joinville is one of the most sustainable in the company.

This is something that is still new in Brazil, but with the partnerships and support that are beginning with the state, good public policies will help both the State government and the company develop a mobility model that can be safe, more accessible, and free of polluting gases.

The meeting, held via a web conference, included the participation of the Executive Secretary for International Affairs, Fernando Raupp, the Secretary of the Environment, Leonardo Porto Ferreira, and from GM, Glaucia Roveri, President of Celesc, Cleicio Poleto, Manager of Government Relations, Daniela Kraemer, Director of Public and Government Relations, and Adriano Barros.
